Test native devices features on BrowserStack
Perform end to end testing of your app including the workflows involving native features of the devices. BrowserStack has offered some key device features that will help you test all the scenarios for your app and release it with confidence.
Geo-location testing
Geo-location testing allows you to simulate the location of the device to a specific GPS location in order to test the location based scenarios for your app. To simulate the GPS location you will need to pass the latitude and longitude of the location you want to set the device for, using browserstack.gpsLocation capability. Example: browserstack.gpsLocation (0,0).
Acceptable range for latitude is -90 to +90 and for longitude is -180 to +180. Example: 40.730610,-73.935242

Push Notifications
Support for Push Notifications is now enabled on BrowserStack devices for you to be able to test the Push Notification scenarios in your app. For Push Notification to work on iOS devices, you will need to build your app using Enterprise signed certificate as Push Notification will not work for developer signed app. Upload your app to the BrowserStack servers using the App Upload API. While executing the test, set browserstack.resignApp capability to False. This will install your enterprise signed app on the BrowserStack devices without resigning it. Push Notifications are currently supported only for Appium.

Pre-loaded images
We have uploaded some pre-set images in the devices gallery for you to be able to easily test your flows involving images.
Network Simulation
You can now simulate different network conditions to test the performance of your apps in those networks. When you run your tests with the default network settings, each device will have unhindered WiFi connection with Internet connectivity. With Network Simulation, you can change the WiFi connection to simulate the speeds of network profiles like 2G or 3G that controls bandwidth, latency and packet loss.
For more details refer to the Network Simulation documentation
Test dependent apps
Install and test multiple apps on the device to test the flows dependent on other apps. You can install dependent apps using the otherApps capability. Example: otherApps = ["bs://
