Test with sample data

Its easy to test scenarios that require device to be setup with sample test data (e.g. photos, videos), so that its made available to your application during test execution.

Pre-loaded media

We have uploaded some pre-set images and video files in the devices gallery for you to be able to easily test your flows involving images or videos.The details for these files:

Upload your own media files

You can also supply your own media files for testing. Before starting test execution, you first need to upload these test files using REST API. The REST API response will return a media_url for each successful file upload. Use this value to set uploadMedia parameter in the REST API request to start test execution.

REST API endpoint :

POST /app-automate/xcuitest/v2/build

Example cURL request :

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/xcuitest/v2/build" \
-d '{"uploadMedia": ["media://a376df49gh31dh83geb1fa3c28f83v8a23s", "media://t5d6w1de9971b2d1ae49gh31dh83gf83v8a23s"], "devices": ["iPhone 8 Plus-11.0"], "app": "bs://f5L3azt9pLzE995f49376eb1fa3c284dc321f8d", "testSuite": "bs://6eb1fa3c284ddbe9971b2d1aee0d52943b9c081"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

You can access these uploaded media files in your test from the Camera Roll directory. The full path to the directory is /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/.

Pre-loaded contacts

We have pre-loaded our devices with sample contacts for you to be able to easily test scenarios that need access to contacts from the device. These sample contacts are dummy data and intended to be used exclusively for the purpose of testing. You can download these sample contacts for your reference.
