Platform: Choose the platform of your device (iOS, tvOS, watchOS).

Device Name: Provide a meaningful name for the device to easily identify it in your list. This is especially helpful if you have multiple devices.

Device ID (UDID): Enter the Unique Device Identifier (UDID) of your device. The UDID is a 40-character hexadecimal string that uniquely identifies an Apple device.

- For iOS devices: Connect the device to a computer, open iTunes or Finder, select the device, and click on the serial number to reveal the UDID. You can also use Xcode or third-party tools.

- For Apple Watch: In the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to General > About > Serial Number. Tap the Serial Number field until the UDID appears.

- For Apple TV: In the Settings app on your Apple TV, go to General > About. The UDID can be found here or through Xcode when the Apple TV is connected to a Mac.
