Add UDID to Provisioning profile which is managed by xCode?

Question

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.

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.
