Uploading and Installing iOS Apps

Overview

Uploading your mobile application to the Pcloudy platform is the first step to begin comprehensive testing across real devices in the cloud. Pcloudy supports both Android and iOS application packages, allowing you to upload your app directly through the web interface or integrate uploads into your CI CD pipelines for automated workflows. Once uploaded, the app is securely stored, versioned, and made available across selected devices for manual, automated, performance, or AI driven testing. This enables teams to quickly validate functionality, compatibility, and user experience on a wide range of real devices without managing physical hardware.
