Betaprofiles.dev [portable] Now

Let’s face it: distributing an iOS app to beta testers has always felt like a cruel hazing ritual for developers.

For years, the industry accepted this friction. We told ourselves, "It’s a security feature." But in the era of DevOps and automated CI/CD, manual profile management is a bottleneck that kills velocity.

You’ve just polished the final feature. The code compiles. The unit tests are green. Yet, before a single external user can tap your icon, you descend into the tangled undergrowth of the Apple Developer Portal. You’re regenerating provisioning profiles, wrestling with UDIDs, and manually re-downloading .mobileprovision files. betaprofiles.dev

With BetaProfiles.dev, you simply hit an API endpoint: POST /devices/register . The UDID is captured via a simple web form, and the profile is updated automatically. 2.

Our monitoring service checks your profile expiry daily. 14 days before expiration, our webhook triggers a regeneration in your CI pipeline, ensuring your next scheduled build is signed with a fresh profile. 3. CI/CD Sanity Your build.yml file should not need a 50-line Ruby script using spaceship just to fetch a profile. With BetaProfiles.dev, integration looks like this:
