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 set an os_version capability to select a particular OS version for the specified device.

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'
}
