Disable re-signing (iOS)

If you upload an iOS app to BrowserStack servers using REST API. Browserstack will re-sign the app with a self provisioning profile to install your app on our devices during test execution. This process will result in removal of entitlements from your iOS app. However, if your app is already signed using Apple Developer Enterprise Program, you can disable this behaviour to test features such as push notifications and universal links on BrowserStack devices:

If you are using BrowserStack SDK, you can set the following capability within the browserstack.yml file:

Capability Description Expected values
resignApp Disable re-signing of Enterprise signed app uploaded on BrowserStack true/false
Default: true
browserstack.yml

BrowserStack SDK is a plug-n-play solution that takes care of all the integration steps for you. Using the BrowserStack SDK is the recommended integration method for your project. To know more, visit the SDK core concepts page.

Use the following code snippet to disable re-signing of Enterprise signed app uploaded on BrowserStack:

Capability Description Expected values
resignApp Disable re-signing of Enterprise signed app uploaded on BrowserStack true/false
Default: true

Example :

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("resignApp", "false");
var capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"resignApp" : "false",
 	},
}
AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("resignApp", "flse");
$caps = array(
    'bstack:options' => array(
        "resignApp" => "false",
    ),
)
desired_cap = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"resignApp" : "false",
 	},
 }
capabilities = {
    'bstack:options' => {
        "resignApp" => "false",
    },
}
Capability Description Value
browserstack.resignApp Disable re-signing of Enterprise signed app uploaded on BrowserStack true/false
Default: true

Example :

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("browserstack.resignApp", "false");
var capabilities = {
	'browserstack.resignApp': 'false'
}
DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.resignApp", "false");
$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("browserstack.resignApp", "false");
desired_cap = {
	'browserstack.resignApp': 'false'
}
desired_caps = {
    'browserstack.resignApp': 'false'
}

Webviews will not work with resignApp option set to false.
