Integrating Pcloudy with Your Appium Project Using Pcloudy

Pcloudy allows you to run your existing Appium tests on real devices in the cloud without changing your test logic. By replacing your local Appium driver with the Pcloudy Appium cloud driver and adding Pcloudy-specific capabilities, you can execute tests at scale on real Android and iOS devices.

This integration supports:

• Native app automation
• Mobile browser automation
• Appium 2.x
• Real device execution with logs, video, and reports

How the Integration Works

Instead of connecting to a local Appium server, your test connects to the Pcloudy Appium cloud endpoint.

What changes:

• Appium endpoint → Pcloudy cloud URL
• Capabilities → Extended with Pcloudy:options

What stays the same:

• Appium test scripts
• Page objects
• Test framework (TestNG, JUnit, Cucumber, etc.)

High-Level Steps

1. Upload your APK / IPA to Pcloudy
2. Configure Appium desired capabilities
3. Initialize the Appium driver using the Pcloudy endpoint

Prerequisites

• Existing Appium automation project
• Appium client libraries installed
• Pcloudy account with API access
• APK (Android) or IPA (iOS) uploaded to Pcloudy
