Using self-signed certificates with your app during Espresso test executions on BrowserStack App Automate

If you are using a self-signed certificate to test your app, you may get invalid certificate errors during the execution of the tests. In order to avoid these errors, you need to pass the acceptInsecureCerts parameter in the REST API request to start Espresso test execution.

REST API endpoint:

 POST /app-automate/espresso/v2/build

The following table lists the parameter used to accept insecure certificates:

Example cURL request:

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/espresso/v2/build" \
