I’m slowly getting around to easing the pain of managing beta testing iOS applications. TestFlight has made one part of that process really nice and easy but currently there are a few friction points. One of those is creating a build and submitting it to TestFlight which I have a Rakefile for. Another part is managing the device list on the Apple Dev center.

Previously this involved going to the site, logging in, getting to the device page and then adding the UDID.

Well this is now as easy as:

$ gem install wod
$ wod devices:add "Dave's iPhone 5" 2d84d56ceg52c49379537413d3b9865ae2b12345

I’m going to add more functionality to this tool as I need it, but feel free to fork the code and add more features.
