driver.get() support with iOS 26.4 Beta 1 | Real devices
Beginning with iOS 26.4 Beta 1, Apple introduced changes that affect URL navigation using driver.get(). As a result, Perfecto does currently not support using driver.get() on devices running iOS 26.4 Beta 1.
Support for this capability will be added in Perfecto 26.2, which will be deployed on Sunday, March 1.
To use driver.get() successfully on iOS 26.4 Beta 1, you must use:
-
Perfecto 26.2 or later
-
Appium 2.19.0 or later
No additional configuration changes are required. Once Perfecto 26.2 is deployed, all cloud devices running iOS 26.4 Beta 1 will support driver.get() when used with the required Appium version.
For complete support information, see iOS support updates.
iOS 26.4 Beta | Real devices
You can now test your applications on real devices running iOS 26.4 Beta.

Changes to repository download behavior | Assets and setup
Perfecto is changing the default behavior for downloading files from the repository to improve data security.
-
New customers: Downloading files from the Perfecto repository is disabled by default. You can upload files, but downloads are not available unless explicitly enabled for your cloud.
-
Existing customers: Downloads are currently enabled by default. This will change on April 1, 2026.
Starting April 1, 2026, downloading files from the repository will be disabled by default for all clouds. A cloud must explicitly allow repository downloads.
If your workflows require download access, contact Perfecto Support to keep repository downloads enabled.
Uploads are not affected by this change and remain available regardless of download access.
