Perform Operations on your Application via GUI

To test your iOS (.ipa file) or Android (.apk or .aab file) application on LambdaTest, you can upload them directly from the dashboard. In this documentation, we have listed the the ways via which you can upload your application for both Virtual and Real Devices.

Real Device Dashboard

• Access the Dashboard : Log in to your LambdaTest account and navigate to the Real Device dashboard.
• Initiate the Upload : Click the Upload button in the dashboard and select your application file from your local system:
  • For Android : Ensure the file is in .apk or .aab format.
  • For iOS : Use .ipa format. Wait for the file to upload and process. A success message will indicate when your application is ready.
• Open App Settings : Once uploaded, find your application in the list and click on the Settings button.
• Copy the App ID : In the settings, locate the App ID field. Copy this ID, as it will be required to reference your app in automated tests or other configurations.

Automation Dashboard

• Access the App Automation Dashboard : Log in to your LambdaTest account and navigate to the App Automation Dashboard.
• Upload the Application : Click the Browse File button in the App tab under the Real Device or Virtual Device section. Select your application file from your local system:
  • Android : Upload a .aab or .apk file.
  • iOS : Upload an .ipa file.
• Copy the App URL : After uploading, an app_url will be generated (format: "lt://<app_url>"). Copy this app_url and use it in your test scripts to identify your application.
