To enhance our platform and focus on the most widely used device versions, iOS 12 devices will no longer be available on LambdaTest Real Devices Cloud starting February 26th. 

Given their minimal usage, we will also no longer accept new requests for these devices.

Additionally, we are planning to deprecate iOS 13 devices in the near future. 

We understand the importance of a smooth transition, so we will provide at least two months' notice before their deprecations.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, our support team is here to help.

Artifact Extraction on Job Abortion

• Artifacts will now be extracted even if a job is aborted in the middle of a test.
• This ensures that partial test results and logs are still available for review, improving debugging and post-test analysis.

afterEachScenario Flag for Test Cleanup

• Introduced the afterEachScenario flag to automate post-test scenario tasks. This flag is useful for cleanup activities such as clearing cookies, resetting databases, or capturing logs.
• Commands or scripts listed under this flag will execute sequentially after each test scenario, ensuring test isolation and consistency.

📘 Refer to our detailed documentation for afterEachScenario flag

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Projects

• Implemented RBAC to enhance project security and access management.
• Users can now be assigned specific roles with defined permissions.

This feature improves security by ensuring that only authorized users can access or modify project settings and resources.

UX Enhancements for Performance Testing Jobs

• Improved UI/UX for managing and analyzing performance testing jobs.
• Enhanced navigation and usability for a smoother experience.
• Group-Wise Error View
  • Introduced an error grouping feature to help identify and troubleshoot issues efficiently.
  • Errors are now categorized for better readability and quicker resolution.
• Toggle Metrics: ms ↔️ s
  • Added the ability to toggle performance metrics between milliseconds (ms) and seconds (s).
• Provides flexibility for analyzing test execution times in preferred units.

Browser Version Updates

• Edge Beta : Released 133.3065.31 2.7.1 and 133.3065.39 2.7.2 for beta testing

We have introduced the Teams feature for private real device cloud to streamline resource management within organizations. 

With this feature, organizations can get the following benefits:

• 📌 Allocate Devices: Admins can now assign private cloud devices to specific teams, ensuring resources are divided effectively.
• 🔒 Exclusive Access: Team members can have secure, dedicated access to their allocated devices for efficient testing workflows.
• 🛠️ Streamline Management: Teams can manage devices more easily and optimize their testing process.

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.

LambdaTest now supports manual accessibility testing of iOS apps (web and native) on real device cloud. With this feature, you can ensure that your iOS apps are accessible to all users, including those with impairments. 

On real iOS devices, you can now test various accessibility settings, like:

• Text Size Adjustments: Test how your app responds to different text sizes.
• Contrast Settings: Ensure that content remains clear and readable with high-contrast modes.
• Motion Reduction: Verify your mobile app’s compatibility with reduced-motion settings for a smoother, less animated experience.

To get started, check out this guide on accessibility testing on iOS devices.
