Test an iOS App

Testing your own Android or iOS app requires to create a test with a mobile device and adding a reference to the uploaded file.

Upload file

  1. Get your <API Key> from Profile Page (Details)
  2. Upload a .zip or .tar.gz file containing your compressed .app bundle.

    Your .app bundle must represent a simulator build of your app. After running in iOS Simulator via Xcode, look in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<project-name>/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/.

    Alternatively, you may run xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator (if you use .xcodeproj) or xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator -workspace Sample.xcworkspace/ -scheme <your-scheme> -configuration Debug (if you use .xcworkspace) in your project directory, then zip the .app bundle in build/Debug-iphonesimulator/.

  3. Upload ZIP using the following curl commands
curl "https://app.testup.io/uploader/new?ApiKey=<API_KEY>&platform=ios" -F "file=@app-release.zip"

This curl command returns a JSON with <publicKey>.

You can update an existing APK using this <publicKey> with:

curl "https://app.testup.io/uploader/update/<publicKey>?ApiKey=<API_KEY>&platform=ios" -F "file=@app-release.zip"

Create and link test

  1. Create a new Test
  2. Select Mobile System
  3. Select the iOS device you need
  4. Insert AppetizeAppPublicKey = <publicKey>
