Just left click below the device name till you get UDID then right click on top of the UDID and copy option appears click on that that's it . Here is what copied for me when I did the same Serial: F72VGYONJC69 · UDID: 91298d1ad6a522d06f193a5b5762a831f7330bb1 · Model: iPhone10,4 I'm using mac 10.15.1. What's the version you are using ? I recommend you to upgrade to the latest one – Forerun

I hope you saw my above example - both screenshots - what is happening with me!! – Gravity

The system can't able to copy full length of code - I don't know - UDID remain half always. – Gravity

What gets copied is more than the UDID. You need to paste what you copied into a temporary file or something. Then copy just the UDID value so you can paste just the UDID into iTunes Connect. – Drenthe

Okay I figured this out :) I have pasted this into some text file and full string appear - it may be Device ID string length that creating a problem. – Gravity

@Drenthe please post your comment as the answer. – Gravity

Right. You are trying to copy more than UDID into iTunes Connect so it gets truncated. – Drenthe

Answer 1

When you right-click on the UDID in Finder and select Copy, it actually copies the entire line so the clipboard has a string along the lines of:

Serial: G52VGYOEJC69 · UDID: 71398d1ad6b522d06d192a5b5762a831c7730bb1 · Model: iPhone10,4

You can't paste that whole string into App Store Connect. So paste what you copied into a temporary text file or anywhere you can copy text. Then select just the actual UDID number (e.g. 71398d1ad6b522d06d192a5b5762a831c7730bb1) and then you can copy that and paste it into the UDID field in App Store Connect.

Apple should detect this and automatically extract the UUID. – Naraka

Answer 2

For some reason, it doesn't show UDID in Finder (MacOS Catalina) as shown above. What works in my case is obtaining UDID using Xcode.

1. Open Xcode while having iPhone connected via USB
2. Menu > Window > Devices and Simulators [Shift+CMD+2]
3. You will see your device with Identifier field

Answer 7

Here is one way to find your iPhone’s UDID without iTunes

• First, connect your iPhone to your Mac.
• Now, click on the Apple logo at the top right and select About This Mac.
• Next, click System Report
• From the Hardware section, click USB
• Next up, click on the connected iPhone.
• Check out the Serial Number label. Copy the number next to it and paste it into a note. Now, add a – (hyphen) after the 8th digit.

Let’s say, the serial number looks like: 000011114567899. When you include the hyphen, it will be: 00001111-4567899. It’s your iPhone’s UDID.
