How do I find my iOS device's HWID to add it for testing?

To send test push notifications to a specific device, you need to add its Hardware ID (HWID) to the Test Devices list in your Pushwoosh account. The HWID is a unique identifier Pushwoosh assigns to a device for your specific app.

Important Clarifications: 

* The HWID is not the same as your device's UDID. 
* You must get the HWID from your own app's logs, not from the Pushwoosh Demo App, as each app has a different HWID for the same device.

Steps to Find Your HWID

To find the HWID, you need to view your app's real-time console logs when it launches. This requires connecting your device to a computer.

1. Connect Your Device: Connect your iPhone or iPad to a Mac or Windows PC using a USB cable.
2. Prepare to View Logs:
   • On a Mac: Open the Console app (found in Applications > Utilities) or use Xcode's Devices and Simulators window.
   • On a Windows PC: You can use third-party software like 3uTools to view the iOS device's console logs.
3. Capture the Log:
   • Completely close (kill) your app on the iOS device.
   • Start the log viewer on your computer and select your connected device.
   • Launch your app on the device.
4. Locate the HWID:
   • In the stream of logs, search for /registerDevice.

   • You will find a log entry from the Pushwoosh SDK that contains the HWID. It will look similar to this:

     [Pushwoosh] /registerDevice request: {"request":{"application":"XXXXX-XXXXX","hwid":"XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX", ...}}
     

   • Copy the alphanumeric value of the hwid.
5. Add to Pushwoosh:
   • In your Pushwoosh Control Panel, go to Settings - Test Devices.
   • Paste the HWID you copied and add the device.

You can now send test notifications directly to this device.
