Prerequisites for running Tests On Real Devices

For Running tests on Real Devices (using .app file) You will need the following setup

  • Apple Developer profile
  • UDID of the Device(Iphone)
  • Application(.app) bundle ID
  • Your .app should be signed with valid provisioning profile
  • You have to build the rebuild .app file with your profile and should be able to deploy this .app from Xcode on your device.


For Running tests on Real Devices (using .ipa file) You will need the following Setup

  • Apple Developer profile
  • UDID of the Device(Iphone)
  • Application(.IPA) bundle ID
  • Your .Ipa file should be signed with valid developer provisioning profile
  • Since .Ipa file is an installation file you will need to have third party library called libimobile device. Appium internally uses the libimobile device.nstall .Ipa files on the real devices.
  • Download the source as zip (option provided on the bottom right of the page) from the following linkhttps://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice
  • To be continued.....

      Yes Jitendra, Your will need to install the .app from xcode with a valid Developer's profile. To run it on Simulator you need not have the dev profile
