UDiD: Get iPhone UDID in Telegram

Mini App • Handy Tools

About this App

To install a test app or a signed build on an iPhone, people often ask: "send me your UDID". It used to take a computer and a cable. UDiD aims to make it easier: a couple of commands in Telegram. 📱

Here is what a UDID is, how the bot works and what you should never do with third-party services.

Why a UDID matters

A UDID is a unique identifier of a specific Apple device. Developers add it to a list of allowed devices so they can sign an app outside the App Store for it, such as a test build.

Without that number, a build cannot be installed on your phone. That is why testers are asked for it.

What the bot is

The profile says it is a non-profit bot made to assist with iOS device UDID registration. News is posted in the project channel. The app has about 447 thousand users.

It is a narrow tool: it does not repair your phone or hack anything, it solves one task.

The commands

/start starts the bot.
/lang changes the interface language.
/udid returns a magic link for getting a UDID.
/cancel cancels the current conversation.
/import lets you import a developer account.

How it usually goes

The scheme is familiar for this kind of service: you open a link on your iPhone, install a small utility profile, and the device reports its identifier. Afterwards you can remove the profile in settings.

Send the bot /udid.
Open the received link in Safari on your iPhone.
Allow the profile download and install it in settings.
Copy the identifier and pass it to the person who needs it.
Remove the profile when you are done.

Careful with a developer account

The import command is for people who register devices themselves. But an Apple developer account is valuable: apps are signed through it, and it sometimes holds payment details.

Do not hand over a login, password and verification codes to a third-party service unless you trust it fully. Use an app-specific password and two-factor protection. ⚠️

What to do with a UDID next

An identifier is not a secret password, but do not post it publicly. Give it only to whoever is building your test version.

Remember the risks of third-party signing too: apps outside the App Store skip Apple's review, so install only what you trust.

If you just want a regular app, you do not need a UDID at all: the App Store is enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UDID and why is it needed?▼

It is a unique identifier of an Apple device. It is added to a list of allowed devices so a test or third-party app can be signed for it. Regular App Store apps do not need it.

How do I get a UDID with the bot?▼

Send /udid and the bot returns a magic link. Open the link in Safari on your iPhone and install the profile as prompted. After you copy the identifier, remove the profile in settings.

Is the bot paid?▼

The description says it is a non-profit bot. If someone asks you to pay for a UDID, be careful: the identifier itself is free. Check the bot name and the link before installing a profile.

Is it safe to share a developer account?▼

Better not to. The import command exists for working with an account, but the account gives access to app signing. Hand details only to a service you fully trust, and enable two-factor protection.
