Physical Device Testing

Bring repeatable RocketSim workflows to real iPhones and iPads—without leaving your Mac

Test on a physical iPhone or iPad

Bring repeatable app testing to real hardware without leaving your Mac.

  • Open saved deep links and Universal Links on a connected iPhone or iPad
  • Simulate coordinates and routes through Xcode 27
  • Test automatic system time-zone changes from simulated locations
  • Launch, relaunch, terminate, localize, or uninstall a recent device build

Real-device previews and captures

Connect an iPhone or iPad over USB and keep real-device output beside your development workflow.

  • Mirror the device in a dedicated live preview
  • Capture screenshots, GIFs, and video with audio
  • Apply grids, rulers, and design comparison on real hardware
  • Preserve familiar RocketSim capture and post-editing workflows

Recent Builds on real devices

Select an app you ran from Xcode and use the actions supported by that physical target.

  • Launch, relaunch, terminate, or uninstall the app
  • Relaunch with one of the app’s supported locales
  • Refresh installed builds automatically after an Xcode run
  • Keep Simulator-only actions hidden when the physical device cannot perform them

Location and time-zone testing

Test location-aware behavior on real hardware using coordinates and saved scenarios.

  • Simulate a location on a connected iPhone or iPad
  • Reuse saved locations across Simulator and physical-device testing
  • Test automatic system time-zone changes with Xcode 27
  • Clear the simulation to return the device to its real location

Deep links on real hardware

Open custom URL schemes and universal links on a connected physical device.

  • Send deep links without manually typing on the device
  • Reuse URLs with RocketSim’s dynamic variables
  • Compare routing behavior between Simulator and real hardware
  • Repeat navigation tests from the same desktop workflow
