How to check device id of iPhone simulator?

I want to check device id for my iPhone simulator application. But not using codebase. I know the way how to do with codebase, using UIDevice instance.

Is there any way to find device id without using codebase?

Solution

  • EDIT: See other answers for the newer ways to view UDIDs for CoreSimulator-based simulators.

    1. instruments -s devices
    2. xcrun simctl list
    3. From Xcode: Window -> Devices and Simulators -> Simulators. The Identifier value is the UDID.

    From 2011:

    Is the iPhone Simulator UDID unique for each installed instance?

    This answer should be what you want. Look at System Profiler on your mac and the id is there. I just tested on my machine and the IDs match.

    This is the exact Terminal command you can enter to view it:

    system_profiler SPHardwareDataType
