Install Apps from the App Store
TestingBot allows you to install iOS apps directly from the Apple App Store onto real iOS devices during a live testing session. This lets you test production apps without needing the source code or an .ipa file.
How to Install an App from the App Store
To install an app from the App Store on a TestingBot device:
- Go to the Live App Testing page
- Under Select Source, click App Store
- Sign in with your Apple ID
- Search for the app you want to install
- Click Install and select a device to start your testing session
Requirements
- A valid Apple ID is required to sign in to the App Store
- The app must be available in the App Store (not removed or region-restricted)
- Only available on real iOS devices (not simulators)
Limitations
- Apps that require in-app purchases may have limited functionality during testing
- Some apps may have DRM restrictions that prevent installation on shared devices
- Your Apple ID credentials are only used during the session and are not stored by TestingBot
