Upload apps using public URL

Upload apps via public URL using REST API

To upload an app using a public URL via the REST API, use the following cURL example:

A sample response to the above API request is shown below :

{
    "app_url":"bs://f7c874f21852ba57957a3fdc33f47514288c4ba4"
}

Please note the value of app_url in the API response (bs://f7c874f21852.... in the above example). This value will be used later to specify the application under test for your Espresso test execution.

You can manage your uploaded apps by using our REST API. Use the recent apps API endpoint to list your recently uploaded apps. You can delete your uploaded apps by using the delete app API endpoint. By default, we will delete the uploaded app after 30 days from the date of upload.

To upload an app using the App Management UI, follow the steps below:

1. On the App Automate dashboard, go to Utilities > App Management.

2. On the App Management UI, click Upload App.

3. Paste the URL of your application in the or upload from URL box.

4. Choose the App Automate framework you want to use for testing. You can optionally add flags and a custom ID.

5. Click Upload. The app is uploaded to the BrowserStack servers. You’ll receive an App ID, which you can use to run tests.

To view your uploaded apps, apply the My Apps filter.
