title: In Xcode, how can I register a device to test on it, without having a paid Apple Developer account?
body: <p>I am trying to test an app in a real device, using XCode 9. </p>
  
  <p>In Xcode > General > "Automatically manage signing" I get this error: <strong>Failed to create provisioning profile. There are no devices registered in your account on the developer website. Plug in and select a device to have Xcode register it.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have tried physically plugging in an iPod, an iPad and an iPhone. They all show up in iTunes, and also in XCode under Windows > "Devices and Simulators", but XCode simply doesn't register anything. </p>
  
  <p>I also tried to go to the website to register the devices manually, but it seems I cannot even access this website without having a paid Apple developer account? </p>
  
  <p>I do NOT have a paid Apple developer account, but I do have the Apple ID. I know that I can test in a real device without an account because in this page <a href="https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/" rel="noreferrer">https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/</a> under <strong>Benefits and Resources</strong> the <strong>Sign in with Apple ID</strong> column has <strong>Test on Device</strong> checked.</p>
  
  <p>Please, how can I solve this?</p>
