How to Test Secured iOS Apps on LambdaTest
Customers with an Appdome SRM license can use Appdome’s Build2Test service to quickly and easily test their Appdome-secured mobile apps using LambdaTest, without the need for different Fusion Sets. With Appdome’s Build2Test service, Appdome’s in-app defense model recognizes the unique signature of these testing services and allows for easy testing without issuing a security alert or forcing the app to exit, even if these services use tools such as Magisk or Frida. For more details, see How to Use Appdome Mobile App Automation Testing.

Select a test device of your choice by selecting its brand, device name and OS version from the list on the right.
- Click Start to start testing.
The app will be automatically installed on the selected device and then launched. The app’s device control buttons are displayed on the left. - Click the app on the screen to use it.

Troubleshooting Tips
- Most automation test tools can typically be used in one of two modes: emulator mode and real device mode (specific terms may vary according to the testing tool). If you use the automation test tool in “emulator mode” instead of “real device mode”, the Appdome-secured application will not run on the device. This is expected because Appdome ONEShield protects apps from running on emulators/simulators. Instead, you should run the automation test tool in real device
