Question

Assume I have an Xcode project running on Github and multiple developers. I have a new developer who will clone the git repository and start working on the app. I want to add his iOS devices as devices that can run the builds without having to reissue certificates and do all that long process on the iOS Dev Center. How can I do that? I want him to clone the repo, connect his device to Xcode and be able to run the app on his device.

Thanks

Solution

If he is a paid iOS developer and there is no reason to use a specific provisioning profile you won't need to do anything. Xcode can automatically provision his device when he compiles it. Just use the automatic profile selection for your development builds in the build settings.

If it is important that you both use the correct provisioning profile (for example to test push notifications) there is no way around adding his device to the profile on the developer portal. Plus you will need to let him sign the binary as you, using your developer certificate and private key (which you will have to export from Keychain on your development machine).
