Devices & OS Versions

Default Devices

If you don't specify a device or OS version, then you will be allocated the default device image:

Android: Pixel 7 (API level 34)

iOS: iPhone 14 (iOS 17.5)

Android API Levels

DeviceCloud will default to API level 34 unless you pass the --android-api-level flag:

dcd cloud app.apk test.yaml --android-api-level 35

Android Version	API Level
Android 16	36
Android 15	35
Android 14	34
Android 13	33
Android 12L	32
Android 12	31
Android 11	30
Android 10	29

Android Devices

DeviceCloud will default to Pixel 7 unless you pass the --android-device flag:

dcd cloud app.apk test.yaml --android-device pixel-6

id	Name	Dimensions	Valid Android API Levels

iOS Versions

DeviceCloud will default to iOS 17 unless you pass the --ios-version flag:

dcd cloud app.zip test.yaml --ios-version 18

iOS 16 is deprecated and will be removed on 23rd August 2026, after which tests targeting it will fail. We recommend switching to iOS 17 or newer — iPhone 14 also supports 17 and 18.

Targeting a single flow

The flags above set the device for the whole upload. When only one flow needs a particular device then that flow can name its own device in its YAML instead. See per-flow-devices.md.

Running your suite across several devices

To run every flow against several devices from a single dcd cloud invocation use a device matrix.
