4. Get the device UDID:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Via Xcode: Window → Devices and Simulators, or:
|
||||
# Method 1: Via libimobiledevice (preferred)
|
||||
idevice_id -l
|

|

# Method 2: Via system_profiler (no extra tools needed)
|
||||
system_profiler SPUSBDataType | grep -A 20 "iPhone" | grep "Serial Number"
|

# The UDID is the 40-character hex string (not the ECID)

> **Important:** Bonjour/mDNS discovery does **not** work over VPN connections. Always use the USB-based UDID connection (`--id` flag with `ios-deploy`) rather than relying on network Bonjour discovery. The workflow uses `--id ${IPHONE_UDID}` which works over both direct USB and USB-over-network setups.
