Hey folks 😀
We are pleased to announce the basic authentication support for Safari browser automation on real iOS devices. 🔐
To еnablе Basic Authеntication in Safari for tеsting iOS wеb applications, wе havе implеmеntеd a nеw Lambda Hook spеcifically dеsignеd for iOS rеal dеvicе wеb sеssions. It's important to note that this Lambda Hook is not compatiblе with app-basеd sessions.
For more details, please refer to our documentation Basic Authentication for Safari Web Automation.
Our team is excited to announce the new features and enhancements to LambdaTest's SmartUI and Analytics Platform. Let's take a look at them.
SmartUI
Test on Edge Browser 🌐
SmartUI now supports Edge browser in addition to other supported browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and more. Using Storybook, you can test your software application's UI components on the Edge browser to ensure they function and render perfectly.
Capture Full Page Screenshots with Auto-Height Detection 📷
Earlier A/B testing of images with SmartUI requires you to take full-page screenshots to make more informed decisions. In addition, capturing full-page screenshots in Storybook also requires manual configuration of the page height.
With the Auto Height Detection feature, now you can capture full-page screenshots by automatically detecting and adjusting the page height and avoid the hassle of manually specifying the height parameter in the configuration file.
Integration of GitHub App with Playwright 🔁
SmartUI now integrates the GitHub App with Playwright, allowing you to link your GitHub repositories directly to your LambdaTest's SmartUI accounts.
With SmartUI, you and your teams can easily share test scripts, review changes, and provide feedback within their GitHub repositories. With any CI tool on GitHub, you can get information about the status of visual regression builds and pull and push requests.
Analytics
LambdaTest Test Analytics Templates 📰
With the new Test Analytics Templates, you can now access pre-built templates that provide comprehensive insight into your test results, making it easier to analyze and interpret the information.
These templates provide a structured framework for the presentation of test analytics, allowing you to customize and visualize their data in a visual and meaningful manner. You and your teams can save time and effort by leveraging these templates instead of creating test reports from scratch.
Hey folks 😀
Our team has been highly productive during the past couple of weeks, so we are thrilled to present you with an array of fresh and exciting new features in real device testing.
Let's take a look 👇
🔹 Real Device Integration with HyperExecute
Say goodbye to procuring virtual devices and embrace the true power of real devices with HyperExecute. With the Real Device and HyperExecute integration, you can test on a wide range of mobile devices at blazing-fast speeds over the cloud, empowering teams to supercharge their app testing process, accelerating time to market, and ensuring exceptional quality.
To get started, check our step-by-step guide Real Device Integration with HyperExecute.
🔹 Flutter Dart Testing
With Dart as its programming language, Flutter enables the fast development of mobile apps with a highly productive, extensible, and open-source set of features.
Now harness the immense capabilities of Flutter Dart and LambdaTest's Real device cloud and ensure your mobile app functions flawlessly across different mobile devices and platforms.
Check our documentation to get started with Flutter Dart Testing on LambdaTest.
🔹 Install and Uninstall Apps in App Automation Scripts
You can install and uninstall specified applications within app automation scripts via webhooks. These commands can be executed using the script execution functionality of the WebDriver. You can install apps that have been uploaded to the LambdaTest platform within your automation scripts.
For more details, visit our guide, Install and Uninstall Apps in App Automation Scripts.
🔹Biometric Authentication for Android
LambdaTest now supports biometric authentication on real Android devices. With this new feature, you can test the biometric authentication functionality in your mobile apps to ensure that the app provides an optimal user experience on various devices and platforms.
With SmartUI's new real-device mobile notification status bar crop feature, you can take your Appium visual regression testing workflows to the next level.
By using Smart Crop, you can crop out the status bar from screenshots and focus solely on the core UI elements during visual comparisons.
SmartUI leverages machine learning algorithms to detect and crop the status bar from screenshots accurately. This allows you to concentrate solely on the important UI elements by excluding them from visual comparisons.

Hey folks 👋
In our ongoing effort to provide a seamless and efficient testing environment, we at LambdaTest are implementing a new Application Life Cycle Policy.
As of 25th June 2023, any application uploaded to our platform will remain available for a duration of 90 days from the upload date. After this period, the application will be automatically deleted from our cloud.
This policy change aims to manage system resources more effectively, ensuring high performance for all end-users and customers. We recognize the importance of your applications in your testing processes. Therefore, we highly recommend maintaining local backups of your applications to prevent any disruptions to your workflows.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this new policy, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to improve our services to suit your needs better.

Hey Folks 😃
LambdaTest's Browser Testing now supports Safari Web Inspector on real iOS devices. You can now debug web apps in iOS Safari sessions with our native Safari Web Inspector.
In addition, here are some minor feature additions and bug fixes.
📌 In Real Device App Testing, you can now view the version of your uploaded apps in the app listing section.
📌 Previously, the app listing section in LambdaTest's Real Device App Testing displayed the time at which the user last synced App Centre with LambdaTest, rather than the exact time when the app was uploaded to the App Centre.
However, we have now updated the app listing section to show the precise time at which the app was uploaded to the App Centre.
