When you use a User Action to install a mobile app on the device, Perfecto detects that this is not an interaction with the content of the screen but with the device system. Perfecto then helps you configure the necessary instrumentation.
Consider the following when installing iOS apps:
-
To install apps on virtual iOS devices, provide the file name in the format
appname.zip. -
To install apps on real iOS devices, the Resign application option is enabled by default and mandatory. Only if you enable WebView, Resign application is optional.
To install a mobile app using an AI User Action:
-
Copy the name of the app from the application repository. You can use the full repository path.
- In the AI User Action Assistant, enter a User Action. For example:
Install app_from_repo.ipa with camera instrumentation
Install ${myApp} on the device
Install public:/path/myapp.ipa
Install ${myApp} on the device, open it and log in
-
In the configuration widget that appears, enable instrumentation features as needed: Sensor, WebView, Secured Screen, Resign Application. To learn more, see Instrumentation.
-
Under Launch after installing, select whether you want to start the app next or whether you want to continue with the Assistant dialog.
-
Click Apply to install the app and then save the command.
