iPhone 18 device support | Real devices

Perfecto now supports iPhone 18 devices. To use an iPhone 18 device, contact Perfecto Support.

The following limitations are known for iPhone 18 devices:

• IDS support for Xcode 27 is not fully stable. Device connection might fail on the first attempt, and device reboot might fail or take longer than usual.

• The on-screen keyboard closes after every typetext command and reopens after typing finishes. Quick interactive typing might therefore be unresponsive or inaccurate.

• The Home button does not work on iOS versions earlier than iOS 27.

• Additional issues might surface because these dependencies have not been fully tested.

iOS 27.2 Beta 1 | Real devices

You can now test your applications on real devices running iOS 27.2 Beta 1.

For complete support information, see iOS support updates.

iOS 27.2 GA | Virtual devices

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

The following limitation applies to virtual devices running iOS 27.2 GA:

• Applications compiled exclusively for Intel (x86_64) cannot run. An ARM64 build is required.

• iPhone Duo is not supported

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

Chrome 155 Beta | Browser support

You can now test your applications in Chrome 155 Beta on Windows and Mac machines.

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

Certificate installation for AI test executions | AI Scriptless

You can now select previously uploaded web certificates for AI Scriptless. Use the installCertificates capability to install the selected certificates for a test.

To learn more, see Install a web certificate during automation testing.

iOS 26.7 GA | Real devices

You can now test your applications on real devices running iOS 26.7 GA.

For complete support information, see iOS support updates.

iOS 18.7.10 Safari navigation | Real devices

Fixed a limitation that prevented Safari web tests on iOS 18.7.10 from using driver.get() because Safari no longer exposed the Page.navigate command. Support is now available with Appium 3, so the driver.executeScript("return window.location.href=\"URL\";"); workaround is no longer required.

For complete support information, see iOS support updates.

Firefox 156 Stable and 157 Beta | Browser support

You can now test your applications in Firefox 156 Stable and 157 Beta on Windows and Mac machines.

iOS 27.0 GA | Virtual devices

You can now test your applications on real devices running iOS 27 GA.

The following limitation applies to virtual devices running iOS 27 GA:

• Applications compiled exclusively for Intel (x86_64) cannot run. An ARM64 build is required.

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

Removed support for iOS 16 simulators | Virtual devices

Starting with the iOS 27.0 GA release, virtual devices will use the latest Xcode 27 RC and will no longer support iOS 16 simulators. As a result, simulator devices that were only supported on iOS 16 are no longer available, including iPad (5th generation), iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (1st generation), iPad Pro (9.7-inch), iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus.

Testing workflows must use iOS 17 or later simulator versions.
