Re-sign iOS apps
Learn about iOS app re-signing and supported entitlements.
When you upload an iOS app, BrowserStack re-signs it with a self provisioning profile so you can install the app on BrowserStack devices during test execution. However, if your app is signed using the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, you can disable this behavior to test features such as push notifications on BrowserStack devices. To disable re-signing, set the browserstack.resignApp capability to false in your Appium test scripts.
You can add various entitlements to your apps by enabling the corresponding flag These flags
Make sure the iOS app has isInspectable enabled for WkWebView or JSContext components if it is built using the iOS/iPadOS 16.4+ SDK. Apple now requires this to make WebView contexts available in Appium. The default value is No or false. For more information, see Enabling the Inspection of Web Content in Apps.
Here is a list of entitlements supported by BrowserStack:
