Test iOS entitlements of your app on Private Devices

Ensure iOS apps retain all entitlements during testing, providing a reliable and accurate testing environment on App Live using BrowserStack’s Private Devices

BrowserStack’s Private Devices ensures entitlements are preserved, enabling accurate and reliable testing for both developer-signed and enterprise-signed apps.

What are iOS entitlements?

iOS app entitlements are permissions that grant your app’s executable (.ipa) specific capabilities, such as receiving push notifications, enabling universal links, or using app groups. These entitlements are enabled in your Apple developer account and verified by the iOS runtime policy before granting permissions to the app.

Benefits of preserving iOS entitlements

• Seamless testing: Apps retain their entitlements, enabling accurate testing of features like iCloud, push notifications, and keychain sharing.

• Flexibility: Supports both developer-signed and enterprise-signed apps.

• Enhanced control: Skip the resigning process to maintain app integrity and functionality.
