iOS provisioning portal questions

Every time i go through this i get frustrated and end up doing the entire process over again. I am on windows.

I am trying to add a new device, what exactly is the process to just add another device? i already have 1 device working.

I have a developer certificate in the portal already

I added the new device UDID

i add a new profile for that device right?

... i have some mental block when it comes to this stupid site i cant seem to memorize the process.

What new do i need? Am i using the same .p12 but just a new provisioning profile?

Correct answer Colin Holgate

Once you have added a new device, go to the list of provisioning profiles, select the one you have been using, and choose Modify. In there you'll see the devices you have added to your account. Click the checkboxes next to the devices you want that provisioning file to work for, and then Submit.

You're taken to the list again, and the one you modified shows as not being ready yet, but you can do a page reload right away, and then should see the Download button appear. Download it and replace the old one, with the same name. Then you should be able to just republish the IPA file, and the new version of the provisioning file will be used.

Thanks, that was a little easier than i thought. Currently 4 UDIDs are included in the provisioning profile and i have it installed on my original device so far...Should be good.

But let me ask you this:

I created a new provisioning profile, selected all the device udids.

saved, downloaded, used...

I was able to compile the .ipa file, but when syncing it to my original device, the ipod notified : "itunes failed to install appName" with no additional info.

I tried a few times, removing udids, creating new profiles. Somehow now it work again but i dont know why i was getting this error. My UDID was definitely included.

Does the APP ID written in the portal need to be written the same way in the flash export settings?

Thanks again...

oh! one more question.

When i plugged someone else's ipad into my machine, itunes gives some message it needs to sync to my account /delete downloaded apps or something?

What is the best way to put a test app on someone's device without it messing with stuff like this...besides having them "sync" it from their own computer/itunes.
