Select device
You can run your Appium tests on a wide range of real iOS and Android devices on BrowserStack. These are not simulators or emulators but physical devices hosted in our data centers.
To select a device to test on, use the device capability in your Appium test scripts. You can also select a particular OS version for the specified device by setting an os_version capability, and specify a set of devices for parallel testing.
| Capability | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
device |
Specify the device to test on. This is a required capability. | Use the OS / Device selector below |
os |
Specify the OS. | ios, android |
os_version |
Specify the OS version of the device. | Use the OS / Device selector below |
Example:
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("device", "Google Pixel 3");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("os_version", "10.0");
var capabilities = {
'device' : 'Google Pixel 3',
'os_version' : '10.0'
}
capability.SetCapability("device", "Google Pixel 3");
capability.SetCapability("os_version", "10.0");
$capabilities->setCapability("device") => "Google Pixel 3",
$capabilities->setCapability("os_version") => "10.0"
desired_cap = {
'device': 'Google Pixel 3',
'os_version': '10.0'
}
desired_caps = {
'device' = 'Google Pixel 3',
'os_version' = '10.0'
}
