Known limitations

3 min readLast updated 2026-04-24

Current beta limitations for mobile testing, including device support and performance considerations.

Mobile Testing is in beta. The following limitations apply and will be addressed in upcoming releases.

Current limitations

  • iOS real device testing requires macOS or a cloud provider (no Linux support)
  • Biometric authentication (Face ID, fingerprint) cannot be automated
  • Physical sensor simulation (accelerometer, gyroscope) is not supported
  • Mobile network condition simulation is limited to preset profiles
  • Screenshots on high-DPI devices may differ slightly from baseline

Performance

Real device tests take 2-4x longer than desktop tests due to device boot time and slower execution. Use emulators for fast feedback and real devices for final validation.
