How to Test iOS Apps on Multiple Devices

This blog discusses how to test iOS apps on multiple devices, which is crucial for ensuring a uniform user experience and reducing the likelihood of negative reviews and uninstall rates. The importance of testing iOS apps on multiple devices is highlighted, as different iOS device models and versions can cause compatibility issues. Various aspects that are tested on multiple iOS devices include functionality, compatibility, usability, geolocation, localization, network connectivity, performance, and battery consumption. Techniques for testing iOS apps on multiple devices include functional testing (unit testing, integration testing, system testing, acceptance testing, and regression testing) and non-functional testing (compatibility testing, usability testing, performance testing, and security testing). The right iOS devices for testing are chosen based on factors like popularity, screen size, resolution, and operating system versions. Popular iOS devices to test apps include iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15. Two primary approaches for testing iOS apps are manual testing and automated testing. Tools used for automating iOS app testing include LambdaTest, Appium, XCUITest, and EarlGrey. Testing can be done on virtual devices, physical devices, or cloud-based testing platforms like LambdaTest. Best practices for iOS app testing include targeting the right devices, combining automation and manual testing, leveraging cloud-based testing services, optimizing for different screen sizes and resolutions, and testing in different orientations.
