Use localization options for XCUI tests
Test localized version of your app by changing the language, locale, and timezone settings for your XCUI test executions on BrowserStack App Automate.
Localization settings let you verify how your app behaves for users in different regions. Before a build runs, set the device language, locale, and timezone so your XCUITest cases execute in the target environment.
Language
In order to test the localized version of your app, you can change the language of the application under test. This doesn’t affect the language of the device. In order to do so, you need to pass the language parameter in the REST API request to start XCUI test execution.
REST API endpoint:
| Parameter | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
language |
Set the language of the app under test. |
Example: fr (for French) |
Example cURL request:
Locale
In order to test the localized version of your app, you can set a device locale. In order to do so, you need to pass the locale parameter in the REST API request to start XCUI test execution.
REST API endpoint:
| Parameter | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
locale |
Set locale |
Example: fr_CA (for French-Canada) |
Example cURL request:
Ensure that your tests are using the ProcessInfo object that includes arguments for setting language and locale when you use the above-mentioned parameters for language or locale. Refer to the following code snippet in Swift language.
