Disable re-signing (iOS)

Disable re-signing of apps for your Appium tests to test features like push notifications.

When you upload an iOS app to BrowserStack servers via REST API, BrowserStack re-signs the app with a self-provisioning profile to install your app on the devices. This re-signing process can cause issues if you need to maintain specific signing credentials, especially when dealing with features like push notifications. Push notifications rely on the app’s signing credentials to authenticate communication between the app and the push notification service (such as Firebase or Apple Push Notification Service). If the app is re-signed automatically, the push notification configurations might break or fail to work correctly. However, if your app is already signed using Apple Developer Enterprise Program, you can disable this behaviour to test features and universal links on BrowserStack devices.

You can disable app re-signing by setting the resignApp capability to false.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("resignApp", "false");

var capabilities = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"resignApp" : "false",
 	},
}

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("resignApp", "false");

$caps = array(
    'bstack:options' => array(
        "resignApp" => "false",
    ),
)

desired_cap = {
 	'bstack:options' : {
 		"resignApp" : "false",
 	},
 }

capabilities = {
    'bstack:options' => {
        "resignApp" => "false",
    },
}

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("browserstack.resignApp", "false");

var capabilities = {
	'browserstack.resignApp': 'false'
}

DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.resignApp", "false");

$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("browserstack.resignApp", "false");

desired_cap = {
	'browserstack.resignApp': 'false'
}

desired_caps = {
    'browserstack.resignApp': 'false'
