Group Folder Redirect On Real Devices

LambdaTest supports Group Folder Redirect for iOS apps on Real Devices.
This feature ensures your app uses its private container directory instead of the shared app group container, which becomes inaccessible after app resigning on Real Devices.

---

Use Cases

• Ensure your app maintains file system access after being re-signed on Real Devices.
• Prevent issues when your app relies on the shared App Group container, which becomes inaccessible after resigning.
• Guarantee consistent storage and retrieval of files by using the app’s private container.
