In order to install a beta version of iOS on your iPhone or Ipad, I need to register your Unique Device Identifier also known as (UDID) with Apple's Developer Portal. To find your UDID, you can either....
- Download an App (there are numerous UDID apps, I'd suggest UDID Tool. Send the UDID to me at ####@mit.edu.
or - Plug your iPhone or Ipad into your machine and open up iTunes. When iTunes open, navigate to your iPhone or Ipad page where it displays name, capacity, phone number, serial. Click on Serial and it should change to UDID, right click on the UDID, and select Copy Identifier (UDID). Paste it into an email message and send it to ####@mit.edu.
For example:
- Your UDID should look something like this: 7f6c8dc83d77134b5a3a1c53f1202b395b04482b
