You can now run your Selenium WebDriver tests on iPad and iPhone (iOS 5.1) inside our grid. Testing on iPad and iPhone happens with the official iOS Simulator from Apple and comes with a video and screenshots of the test. At TestingBot we understand that mobile testing is becoming increasingly important, so that's why we are dedicated to provide you with the best solutions for mobile Selenium testing. A simple example of how to run your first test on TestingBot: ```ruby require "rubygems" require 'testingbot' gem "selenium-client" gem "selenium-webdriver" require "selenium-webdriver" require "selenium/client" caps = { :browserName => "iphone", # or ipad :platform => "MAC" } urlhub = "http://key:secret@hub.testingbot.com:4444/wd/hub" client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new client.timeout = 120 webdriver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :remote,:url => urlhub , :desired_capabilities => caps, :http_client => client webdriver.navigate.to "https://www.google.com/" puts webdriver.title webdriver.quit ``` You can find more info about our iOS and Android support in [the App Automation documentation](https://testingbot.com/support/app-automate). We look forward to your comments and suggestions. [← Previous post Mac OS X Selenium testing.
