How to run iOS Automation on AstroFarm Device?

  1. Login to your AstroFarm account
  2. Take Remote of an iOS device
  3. Get the Automation URL of the specific iOS device as shown in the image below

4. Add URL in Appium Script Desired Capabilities as Appium Server URL
URL(“<Paste the AstroFarm automation URL here>/wd/hub”)

Notes:

  1. Make sure your IPA file has developer signatures that include the UDID of the test device.
  2. iOS Automation support is added onwards AstroFarm Console v0.45.25.
  3. If we release/free up the iOS during automation then automation will not work.
