Custom Device Lab on Automate

Fetch device details

To fetch details of the devices in Custom Device Lab assigned to you, authenticate your API request using your BrowserStack credentials and call the appropriate REST API endpoint. For more information, refer to the Custom Device Lab REST API documentation.

Note the UDID of the device

From the API response, identify the device you want to use and note its UDID. This unique identifier is required to specify the device in your test configuration.

Configure the browserstack.yml file

Include the following capabilities in your browserstack.yml file:

• dedicatedDevice: Set this to true to indicate that the test should run on a Custom Device Lab device.

• deviceId: Provide the UDID of the device you noted in Step 2.

Here’s an example of how to configure these capabilities:

In this example:

• Replace the values for deviceName and platformVersion with the appropriate values.

• Replace the value for deviceId with the UDID of your chosen device. To get the list of dedicated devices and their UDIDs, refer to the Custom Device Lab REST API documentation.
