The BuildStore configuration profile links your plan to the iPhone or iPad you want to use. Download it from BuildStore on that device, then open Settings → Profile Downloaded → Install. After installation, return to BuildStore to check your device status.

Install the profile

  1. On the iPhone or iPad you want to use, open BuildStore in Safari and sign in with the account you used to buy the plan.
  2. Open the device setup flow and download the configuration profile. If Safari asks for permission to download it, allow the download.
  3. Open the Settings app and tap Profile Downloaded. Review the profile before installing it. Continue only if you requested it on builds.io and recognize the profile.
  4. Tap Install in the top-right corner and follow the instructions on your device. Enter your device passcode in Settings if prompted.
  5. Return to BuildStore to check your device status.

The iPhone and iPad Settings steps follow Apple’s configuration profile instructions.

What information does the profile share?

BuildStore uses your device identifier (UDID), device type and iOS or iPadOS version to register the device and link it to your plan. See the BuildStore Privacy Policy for details. Find out what a UDID is and how to locate it.

Stolen Device Protection blocks installation on iPhone

Try again from a familiar location, such as home. If iOS still blocks installation, check Apple’s profile instructions and the Stolen Device Protection settings on your iPhone. Apple documents that outside a familiar location you must turn off the protection before installing a profile and turn it back on afterward. If you use the Always setting, Apple says the security delay can apply even at a familiar location. Install a configuration profile · Stolen Device Protection

If you’re still blocked, contact BuildStore Support with your device model, iOS or iPadOS version and the exact error. Once your device is ready, install your first app.
