Installing IOS apps over Air Watch without UDID?

3.4k Views Asked by At

I've just started using Air Watch to distribute in-house ios applications. Unless I build the Ad-Hoc profile with the UDID explicitly listed in the profile, my app will not install on any enrolled devices. Anyone know if there is another way to get these applications installed over AW without managing a list of thousands of UDIDs? Indeed there are ways of using a plist file and distributing from a webserver, but we need a way to remotely wipe the installed applications when a device, or employee, goes MIA.

Unless the device is jailbroken, maintenance of the UDID list is required by Apple for anything outside of the App Store. This is enforced by iOS itself. It's obnoxious, but it's the way it is.

If you need more than 100 devices for in-house deployment, be sure to look at Apple's Enterprise Developer Program. The program supports many more features than the regular developer program's ad-hoc system. To enroll, visit https://developer.apple.com/programs/start/enterprise/
