App Management

Device Cloud provides several ways to manage your application binaries during test execution.

App Binary Options

You have two ways to specify your application binary:

1. Direct File Upload

dcd cloud --app-file ./path/to/your/app.apk flow.yaml

1. Using Previously Uploaded Binary

dcd cloud --app-binary-id abc123 flow.yaml

Binary Management

SHA Hash Checking

By default, Device Cloud checks the SHA hash of your binary to avoid redundant uploads (it will automatically work out the app-binary-id for you). To override:

dcd cloud --app-file ./app.apk --ignore-sha-check

Use this when:

• You need to force a re-upload of the same binary

• You're experiencing hash verification issues
