IPhone does not allow to open the app

Hi,
I am requesting a help on making the app work in iPhone.
I followed the steps in the documentation for setting up the iOS builder to work with Unity. After following the steps, the app was built successfully and I downloaded the app into iphone but the iPhone will not allow to open the app. I am requesting is it because my phone's UDID is not on the Xcode developer account of the Mac used to gain information from for the builder ?? I used my friend's Mac to get the zip file for the Xcode and he registered his iPhone UDID to the for Xcode developer account
Please help in resolving the issue

Hello

You cannot deploy an iOS app signed with a development certificate mentioned in a development provisioning profile on other devices than those whose UDID is also mentioned in that provisioning profile.

Read that phrase again slowly and make sure you understand it fully. All of Apple’s protection against illegal app distribution and piracy lies here. We have to deal with it — or use jailbroken phones.

In order for your app to be accepted on your device, you need to deploy it using a provisioning profile that contains your device’s UDID.

The only exception to this rule is when you use a corporate Apple account. But subscribing to that is likely to not be the same price at all than a standard iOS developer account.

I recommend that you obtain your own iOS developer account. That way you will be able to get your own code signing certificate and generate provisioning profiles that contain your device’s UDID.

I hope this answers your questions.

There is no need to “register”, just enter the same name + password of your choice every time.
