5-line setup

Run your existing Appium scripts on real devices

Point your Appium driver at the TestingBot hub, supply your app and capabilities, and your test runs on a real iPhone or Android phone in seconds.

// Run an Appium test on a real iPhone in the TestingBot cloud
const { remote } = require('webdriverio');

const driver = await remote({
  hostname: 'hub.testingbot.com',
  port:     443,
  protocol: 'https',
  capabilities: {
    'platformName':     'iOS',
    'appium:deviceName': 'iPhone 15',
    'appium:platformVersion': '18',
    'appium:app': 'tb://YOUR_APP_ID',
    'tb:options': { name: 'Checkout flow', realDevice: true }
  }
});

await driver.deleteSession();

Same WebDriver protocol you already use, with a single endpoint switch. See the docs for Appium on TestingBot for full examples.

Secure devices

Real devices. Wiped after every session.

Each Appium session locks one real device for your test only. The moment your test ends, the device is factory-reset, all installed apps are deleted, caches are cleared, and the device is returned to the pool ready for the next customer.

SOC 2-aligned, GDPR-compliant, with SAML SSO and audit logs for teams.

  • One real device per session, never shared
  • Factory-reset between every session
  • Encrypted app uploads with per-app retention controls

Buy vs build

TestingBot vs an in-house device lab

Building and maintaining your own iOS and Android device lab is expensive. Devices break, batteries swell, OS updates ship constantly. Here is how a hosted device cloud compares.

FAQ

Appium on TestingBot: frequently asked questions

What is Appium and why run it on TestingBot?

Appium is the open-source automation framework for native, hybrid and mobile web apps. TestingBot hosts a fleet of real iPhones, iPads, Galaxy and Pixel devices that you can drive with your existing Appium scripts. Point your driver at https://hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub and your test runs on a real device in seconds.

Which Appium versions are supported?

TestingBot supports Appium 1, Appium 2 and Appium 3, including Appium 2/3 plugins and the latest XCUITest and UIAutomator2 drivers. You can pin a specific Appium server version per-test through capabilities, so you can keep legacy suites running on Appium 1 while migrating new tests to Appium 3.

Can I test native, hybrid and mobile web apps?

Yes. TestingBot supports all three Appium contexts. Native iOS apps via XCUITest, native Android apps via UIAutomator2 or Espresso, hybrid apps in WebView, and mobile web in Safari and Chrome on real devices.

How do I upload my IPA or APK?

Upload your build to TestingBot Storage via the REST API or our CLI, then reference it from your Appium capabilities. Builds can be retained per-app for fast re-runs.

Can I run Appium tests in parallel?

Yes. Plans on TestingBot include up to 100 parallel Appium sessions on real devices. Each session locks a dedicated device, so tests do not interfere with one another.

Are the devices real or simulators?

TestingBot's mobile cloud uses real, physical iOS and Android devices. We also offer iOS Simulators and Android Emulators for early-stage tests, but real devices are the default and the recommended target for accuracy.

Can I test apps that need a private backend?

Install our secure tunnel and your Appium tests can reach staging APIs, internal services and localhost. No inbound firewall rules needed.

Is the device cloud SOC 2 / GDPR compliant?

TestingBot is GDPR-compliant with EU data residency, ISO 27001 aligned and STAR Level 1 certified. Devices are factory-reset between sessions, app uploads are encrypted and SAML SSO and audit logs are available on enterprise plans.
