I know how to add from the web portal, but this particular provisioning profile is marked as "Managed by Xcode", therefore, I need to either stop managing from xcode or add a UDID into the profile from Xcode.

I cannot find any way to "stop managing" in Xcode.

In Xcode, I know how to add the device by tethering to my laptop and refreshing, but I don't see any option to add a UDID.

Here is what worked (multiple times now) ...

  • (Web) Login to Apple Developer > Member Center > iOS Provisioning > Add Devices
  • Add UDID with a meaningful name
  • Create a Provisioning Profile that includes all of your registered devices
  • (Xcode) Go back to the Organizer
  • Select the Provisioning Profiles section and select the specific profile
  • Check the box "Automatic Device Provisioning"
  • Press the Refresh button

Voila!
