Use IP geolocation

BrowserStack’s IP geolocation feature allows you to simulate website and mobile behavior from different locations by using IP addresses hosted in 45+ countries around the world. By incorporating IP geolocation into your tests, you can verify scenarios such as localized pricing, languages, product listings and much more.

With IP geolocation enabled, traffic from your mobile app will originate from an IP address hosted in the country you have chosen. With over 45+ countries to choose from, you can now test how your mobile app behaves across the world.

Use the capability to test country-specific behavior for your apps:

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

Capability Description Value
geoLocation Test how your app behaves in specific countries < Two letter country code >
Example: “CN” for China, “FR” for France, “IN” for India and “US” for United States of America
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 set the geo location:

Capability Description Value
geoLocation Test how your app behaves in specific countries < Two letter country code >
Example: “CN” for China, “FR” for France, “IN” for India and “US” for United States of America

Example:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("geoLocation", "FR");
var capabilities = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"geoLocation" : "FR",
	},
}
AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("geoLocation", "FR");
$caps = array(
    'bstack:options' => array(
        "geoLocation" => "FR",
    ),
)
desired_cap = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"geoLocation" : "FR",
	},
}
capabilities = {
    'bstack:options' => {
        "geoLocation" => "FR",
    },
}
Capability Description Value
browserstack.geoLocation Test how your app behaves in specific countries < Two letter country code >
Example: “CN” for China, “FR” for France, “IN” for India and “US” for United States of America

Example:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("browserstack.geoLocation", "FR");
var capabilities = {
"browserstack.geoLocation" : "FR",
}
AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.geoLocation", "FR");
$caps = array(
"browserstack.geoLocation" => "FR"
)
desired_cap = {
"browserstack.geoLocation" : "FR"
}
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["browserstack.geoLocation"] = "FR"
