When creating an iOS test project, you can add your application’s IPA file to the list of tested applications. This will let you automatically deploy your iOS application to mobile devices and launch it there.
| Note: | Information about the tested applications is desirable, but it is not required for project creation. So, you can finish the project creation and add the needed tested applications any time later. See Adding Tested Applications. |
Requirements
-
The IPA file that you are going to add to the project must be compiled as it is explained in the Preparing iOS Applications section.
-
The IPA file must be located on a computer where TestComplete is installed or in a network share.
List of tested applications
The page lists the tested iOS applications in a table that has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Autorun | Select this check box to automatically launch the application on the connected iOS device when you start the test recording. |
| Name | The application name that will be shown in the Project Explorer and will be used in the Run TestedApp keyword test operation and in the TestedApps.Name.Run() scripting method. |
| IPA File Name | The fully-qualified path of the iOS application file (.ipa) on the local computer or in a network share. |
To add an application to the list

In the dialog, specify the needed iOS archive file (.ipa) and the application's options (if needed). For more information on the available options, see the dialog description.
