Interact With Android and iOS Devices in Real-Time 

You can now interact with real Android and iOS devices in real-time during web automation tests. This means you can inspect UI elements, check device behavior, and troubleshoot any issues instantly, without waiting for the test to complete.

Control Bluetooth Settings During Test Sessions

You now have the ability to turn Bluetooth on or off on real Android and iOS devices during your test sessions. This feature is supported for both manual and automated testing. So, it’s easier than ever to validate Bluetooth-dependent features within your test flow.

For example,

enableBluetooth: true 

Set Custom GPS Coordinates for Mobile Test Automation

You can now set custom GPS coordinates during your tests for Espresso, XCUITest, and Flutter. This makes it simple to simulate different locations and test location-based scenarios.

For example,

"location": {"lat": "-50","long": "150.028333"}

You can now integrate your Firebase App Distribution account directly with LambdaTest. It allows you to instantly push mobile apps to real Android and iOS devices in the cloud—no need to download and re-upload builds.

With this update, testing beta builds, bug fixes, or new features becomes much faster and more efficient. Simply link your Firebase project, and your mobile app is ready for testing on real devices within LambdaTest.

You can also easily share access to these mobile apps with your teammates, ensuring everyone is testing from the same source.

You can now use VoiceOver on real iOS devices to manually test the accessibility of your mobile apps.

This means you can check how well your digital experience works for people who rely on screen readers—especially those with visual impairments. 

VoiceOver reads out loud what's on the screen, helping users navigate and interact with your content without needing to see it.

In App Automation, you can now get app profiling metrics from your test sessions using an API. You can add this API to your CI/CD pipelines or automation frameworks. This allows you to get real-time performance data—like CPU usage, memory, disk usage, and network activity.

To get the profiling details, send a request to the LambdaTest API. Use your LambdaTest Username, Access Key, and the session ID. The response will include the metrics in JSON format. This makes it easy to link with other tools or reporting systems for more analysis.

Bonus: We have also added support for network log features for Espresso (Sharding/ Non Sharding) and Flutter Android tests. To get started, refer to this guide on Supported Espresso Capabilities.
