iOS 27.2 GA | Virtual devices

You can now test your applications on iPhone Duo simulators running iOS 27.2 GA with limited capacity. An ARM64 application build is required; applications compiled exclusively for Intel (x86_64) cannot run.

For complete support information, see Simulators (iPhones and iPads).

Chrome 158 Beta | Browser support

You can now test your applications in Chrome 158 Beta on Windows and Mac machines.

For a complete list of supported browsers, see Supported platforms.

Firefox 159 Stable and 160 Beta | Browser support

You can now test your applications in Firefox 159 Stable and Firefox 160 Beta on Windows and Mac machines.

For a complete list of supported browsers, see Supported platforms.

Run selected steps inside loops and groups | AI Scriptless

You can now set Run from step and Run to step on steps inside Loop and Group steps. Steps outside the selected range are greyed out. If the starting step is inside a loop or group, that container runs once without iterating.

To learn more, see Execute tests.

iOS 27.2 GA | Real devices

You can now test your applications on real devices running iOS 27.2 GA.

For complete support information, see iOS support updates.

Pause and resume AI Scriptless tests | AI Scriptless

You can now pause a running AI Scriptless test from the editor toolbar. The test finishes its current step before pausing, and you can resume or stop it without restarting the run.

To learn more, see Execute tests.

Edge 156 Stable | Browser support

You can now test your applications in Edge 156 Stable on Windows and Mac machines.

For a complete list of supported browsers, see Supported platforms.

Device stability reminder | Certificate keeper and passcodes

To keep devices available and stable, make sure you're using the following if your tests rely on enterprise‑signed iOS apps or passcode‑protected devices:

• Certificate keeper: If you test enterprise‑signed iOS apps on iOS 18 and later, upload a certificate keeper app for each enterprise identity or environment, and then contact Perfecto Support to enable certificate keeper installs for your cloud. Without one, installing apps interactively can put devices into an error state.

• Standard passcodes: Use only the standard passcodes provided for your cloud. Don't set custom passcodes. Changing a device passcode makes the device inaccessible and removes it from the cloud until the passcode is corrected.

To learn more, see Maintain trust for enterprise‑signed iOS apps and Device and testing best practices.

iPhone 18 Pro devices | Real devices

Perfecto now supports iPhone 18 Pro devices. To request an iPhone 18 Pro device for your cloud, contact Perfecto Support.

iPhone 18 Pro devices require the updated Xcode 27.2rc dependencies package, IDS-DependenciesPackages-27.2rc_20261022-1014.zip, deployed on separate HSS machines hosting iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro devices. This package has an Apple bug that affects typetext. Appium 3.6.0 includes a workaround; a backport to Appium 2.19.0 is pending.

Reporting export API | Perfecto REST API

The Reporting export API now includes a retryCount field for each command. Use it to see how many retries Reporting merged into that command and compare the result with the Single Test Report.

To learn more, see Smart Reporting Public API.

Chrome 156 Stable | Browser support

You can now test your applications in Chrome 156 Stable on Windows and Mac machines.

For a complete list of supported browsers, see Supported platforms.

iOS 27.2 RC | Real devices

You can now test your applications on real devices running iOS 27.2 RC.

For complete support information, see iOS support updates.

iOS 27.2 RC | Virtual devices

For complete support information, see Simulators (iPhones and iPads).

AI Scriptless test debugging | AI Scriptless

You can run a selected range of steps manually in an interactive AI Scriptless test. Use Run from step and Run to step in the step menu to set the first and last steps. Steps outside the range are grayed out and skipped during the manual run. Use Clear all steps to remove the range and run the full test.

To learn more, see Execute tests.

iOS 27.2 Beta 4 | Real devices
