Prepare your iOS Device

Before you can connect your device to Ranorex Studio and add it as an endpoint, you need to complete a few preparations.

For general prerequisites and supported setup, see Mobile testing requirements.

iOS device settings

Deactivate Auto-Lock

1. Open Settings on your device.
2. Select Display & Brightness.
3. Set Auto-Lock to Never.

Connect your device to a power source

Regardless of the connection type (USB or Wi-Fi), make sure that your device is connected to a power source at all times during test creation and execution.

This helps ensure stable operation and is especially important for Wi-Fi connections, as it prevents power-saving behavior from interfering with testing.

Install the Ranorex Service App

To create and run mobile tests on your device, install the Ranorex Service App.

You can obtain the IPA files from:

• The Ranorex installation folder:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Ranorex\Studio\Bin\RxEnv\iOS
• The Mobile downloads page
