Basic steps for getting registered
Go to developer.apple.com > Member Center and register as an Apple Developer (free) so you can log in
Once logged into the Member Center, sign up as an iOS Developer (not free)
Pay your $99 by credit card
Wait 24-48 hours (yes, really)
Create iOS Distribution Certificate
The Distribution Certificate is Apple’s permission for you to install apps on devices
Needed for installation onto your own device (aka ad hoc distribution) or via the app store
Last time I checked, these steps are documented at developer.appleios/manage/distribution/
. Register a device
You have to register every device that you want to install onto via ad hoc distribution (i.e., by sending the binary via email, iTunes, and USB)
Go to the Devices section of the Member Center
Create a new Device entry, with a memorable name and the UUID
You can find the device’s UUID in iTunes
Hook it up
Go to iTunes
Click on the Serial number so that it mysteriously changes into the UUID (seriously)
Distributing to App Store
1., 2. Register – you already did this
3. Generate another Distribution Certificate – this one, for the app store
4. Create an appid – you already did this
5. Create another Provisioning Profile – this one, for app store (using new Distribution Certificate)
6. Install the Provisioning Profile in Titanium Studio (or xCode)
