What's New in iOS Testing and What Developers Should Be Aware Of

Writer's picture: smith davidsmith david


The new iOS App Testing Services is now available, and it includes a slew of new features. Here are some of the most exciting features:

1. The Dark Mode

Let's face it: Dark Mode is awesome. It makes everything easier on the eyes and gives each app a striking new look. With this update, apps must now support both normal and dark modes, as well as ensure legibility in both.

2. Log in using Apple and the Email Relay Service.

Apple ID, which allows users to sign in to QA testing and services using their Apple account, has increased security. Apple has taken it a step further by assigning a distinct email address to each Apple account. With this feature, your personal email address will never be exposed because emails will be forwarded to it.

3. Background Duties

Apple used to have strict policies regarding background apps. Apple has created a new framework to handle background tasks with IOS App Testing Services. Unfortunately, because it is still in beta, details are limited.

4. Confidentiality and security

Don't skip this one—the it's best change of all. Apple now displays a pop-up listing all the apps that are tracking you in the background. This gives you far more control over the information you share with each app.

5. Other important updates

Apple has released a slew of new updates, including a new 3D version of Maps (select cities only for the time being), swipe typing, and audio sharing via AirPods. There are also performance improvements, such as faster app load times and smaller app download sizes.

How should I get ready for IOS App Testing Services?

The stable version of IOS App Testing Services will be available in the coming months. A large number of users will migrate to it in a short period of time. As a developer, you can prepare by doing the following:

1. Regression analysis

It is critical to ensure that all of your previous tests run smoothly in the new iOS version. While there are no major API updates, it is critical that you test all of your mobile app's key flows to avoid surprises.

2. Put your UI to the test

Check that your buttons and images are loading properly and in the correct positions. Visuals should be consistent across devices and resolutions. The last thing you want to happen is for the user experience to fail.

3. Begin incorporating new features into your app.

Nothing gets users more excited than trying out a new feature. Imagine if users could use their Apple ID to sign in to your app as soon as Apple launches the Sign in with Apple feature!

What can BrowserStack do for you?

BrowserStack offers exclusive Website Testing Services. Begin testing on iOS to ensure that it is ready for your users. The best part is that these tests can be run on real devices rather than emulators or simulators.
