Regarding provisioning profile

How i can create provisioning profile without having iphone device id as i do not have iphone? When i try to create provisioning profile, it asks to select a device and i do not have any iphone or ipad device. Without provisioning profile, xcode is not allowing me to archieve the project. So any help is appreciated. thanks

you need to have a device attached to "archive" an xcode project.

Hi @waqasnu, As @STrobe pointed out you need an device to make it work. You also need an device to test your app, the simulator is a great tool but it cannot replace the real thing. You can find cheap 3g iPhone second hand on ebay nowadays. Farcat

My question was not regarding testing, it was how to archive project without iphone. However i have found the solution, i just need to generate distribution provisioning profile which is required to distribute apps. I was generating development provisioning profile previously which was asking for device id. thanks
