Add UDID to Provisioning profile which is managed by xCode?

Physically device is not present, only UDID is. How am I supposed to add UDID of a Apple Device to an existing provisioning profile.

I certainly can't do it from developer.apple.com (membership account) since it shows managed by xcode and Edit option is disabled.

Seeing several answers on here I went to Window->Devices +(icon at the bottom). But it is demanding presence of device.

I might be missing right step.Last option is to recreate the provisioning profile using membership centre.

You can delete the XCode managed profile and then create your own and import that into XCode, or if you want to distribute the app to someone for testing, create a new distribution profile and use that when you archive the app – Paulw11

Here's what worked for me on Xcode 9.0 when using a provisioning profile managed by Xcode:

  • Add the device on the Apple developer site at https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/ and enter a meaningful name and the UDID
  • Delete all previously downloaded provisioning profiles on your local disc at ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/

Xcode should then automatically re-download the new provisioning profile that includes the newly added device when needed.
