Do I really need ipa file to run my Xamarin.UITest on AppCenter (Simulator)

[Sana Rajput]

I have my repository on dev.azure.com, which contains:
1. My iOS App
2. My Xamain.UITest

I have correctry configured AppCenter to Build my iOS App (1).
Now, I'd like to run my Xamarin.UITest with Simulator (real device is not required).

I started to configure AppCenter to run my Xamarin.UITest, but the step 3 requires ipa file:

appcenter test run uitest --app "MYACCOUNT/iOSApp" --devices 1c697216 --app-path pathToFile.ipa  --test-series "master" --locale "en_US" --build-dir pathToUITestBuildDir

IPA

pathToFile.ipa

Is there a way to run Xamarin.UITest without MAC and without IPA?

Hi Sana,

I did this:

I rented a MAC via MacinCloud

I connect to it remotely

I run the iOS application on the simulator (from the rented MAC)

Thank you for your suport

BTW:

No configuration is required on the rented MAC. If you still need help regarding Xamarin Migration Services feel free to contact me.
