Start an Automation Session with Pre-Installed Apps

You can also run app automation tests directly on an app that is already installed on your private device, without reinstalling the app or resetting its existing state.

To do this, pass the app capability as Stock, in addition to your private cloud capabilities. Along with it:

• For Android, pass the appPackage and appActivity of your app.
• For iOS, pass the bundleId of your app.

Android

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> ltOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
ltOptions.put("privateCloud", true);
ltOptions.put("udid", "<PRIVATE_DEVICE_UDID>");
ltOptions.put("platformName", "android");
ltOptions.put("deviceName", "Galaxy S24");
ltOptions.put("platformVersion", "14");
ltOptions.put("app", "stock");
ltOptions.put("appPackage", "com.proverbial");
ltOptions.put("appActivity", "com.proverbial.MainActivity");
capabilities.setCapability("lt:options", ltOptions);

iOS

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> ltOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
ltOptions.put("privateCloud", true);
ltOptions.put("udid", "<PRIVATE_DEVICE_UDID>");
ltOptions.put("platformName", "ios");
ltOptions.put("deviceName", "iPhone 16");
ltOptions.put("platformVersion", "18");
ltOptions.put("app", "stock");
ltOptions.put("bundleId", "com.proverbial.ios");
capabilities.setCapability("lt:options", ltOptions);

Note: Since the app capability is set to Stock, the session launches the app already present on the device, retaining its existing data and state.
