Mastering UDT Desktop: A Step-by-Step Guide to Local Device Integration

STEP 1: Download UDT Desktop

Contact your sales to obtain the latest version of UDT Desktop pro.

• MAC

Please confirm in advance that you have selected the "Mac App Store and identified developers" or "Anywhere" in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy. Otherwise, the tool can't be started.

Drag the tool to the Applications folder to open it later.

•  Windows

After decompression, directly double-click udt-desktop-pro.exe.

STEP2: Login

(1) Select OAuth Login method

(2) Enter the site: udt

(3) Click One- click Login and finish the login process.

(4) Select the Work directory (set up on first use):

This is where the desktop tool stores downloaded basic components, cache, logs, etc. Note:

• No spaces in the selected directory.
• No two or more "udt_desktop_work" directories within the work directory.

STEP 3: Connect and configure devices

• Android

To connect and register an Android device, configure the device in advance to ensure smooth connection later.

Note: Enable the developer mode and USB debugging before device connection.

• iOS

To connect and register an iOS device, configure the device in advance to ensure smooth connection later. iOS device version support: Below iOS 17.0 and iOS 17.4 and above.

Note: Install iTunes in advance for connecting an iOS device via a Windows OS.

1: Version Upgrade

If your iOS version is between 17.0 and 17.3, please upgrade it to version 17.4 or above.

2: Device trust

(1) Remove the screen lock of the device to facilitate subsequent steps.

(2) If the "Trust" pop-up window appears after you connecting the device via USB, click Allow.

Note: If the device is installed with iOS v16.0 or higher, you need to manually enable the developer mode in Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Developer Mode (restart the device as prompted after enabling).

If the toggle does not appear, unplug and plug the device again and connect it to Desktop. Desktop will automatically restart it.

 3: Install UDT components

If the device is installed with iOS v15.0 or later, select Settings -> General -> VPN & Device Management -> Enterprise Signature APP -> scrcpy, and click Trust.

After the component runs properly, the phone will prompt "Automation Running", as follows:

Note: If you don't want to access Desktop later, click "scrcpy" and "WebDriverAge.." on the desktop, go to the Recent APP tasks page, and manuallyshutdown it. After that, the "Automation Running" prompt will disappear.

Integrating local devices with UDT Desktop Pro streamlines debugging and auto-testing workflows, ensuring efficiency and precision. By following the steps outlined—downloading the tool, configuring login credentials, and preparing Android/iOS devices with version checks, trust settings, and component installations—you can seamlessly connect devices in batches and leverage UDT's full potential.
