I have paid $99 and have a developer account. I have iOS 7 loaded onto my iPhone 5. I want to install it onto my iPhone 4S for testing. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. How do I do this? I know you can add up to like 100 devices or something. Do I just hit add device and pop in the UDID? And then connect the 4s to my mac and load ios7? Or do I need to register the 2nd udid or something?


To get it out of the way:

Um, if you are a developer you should know how to do this.

Non-developers should not be loading betas onto their device because us "real" developers are vastly superior to other humans.

This is why non-developers shouldn't try betas.




I paid my $99 which is more than a lot have done. I just want iOS 7 on my 2 iPhones.
 
Go to the developer center, add your 4S via UDID and download the appropriate image for that model phone. Then install same as you did for your 5.

I've been hearing through the grapevine that beta 5 is verifying that folks are registered even if you try that update trick. so I would say definitely go through the proper and full channels if you have an account

Which is................................??
 
How exactly is it trolling to say if you have a developer account follow the proper procedure because Apple may have started checking to avoid torrent distribution etc.

beta 5 isn't checking for anything, if it was there would be topics about it.
 
Go to the dev center, register your device's UDID, and download the appropriate file for your device. Plug in the device, and open iTunes. Hold option and click Restore and choose the file you downloaded. You might want to wait a little while before trying to install the beta because the UDID isn't always immediately activated. Also, be sure to make a backup of your device before you install it because it'll be wiped.

That was one guy that was lying and he is not in time-out.
