# Mobile testing

> Build and test iOS and Android apps in cloud devices from a workspace.

Mobile testing gives agents scoped access to cloud iOS simulators, Android emulators, and Xcode sandboxes, powered by [Limrun](https://lim.run).

## Setup

1. Open the environment that should support mobile testing
2. On **Configuration**, expand **Advanced**
3. Enable **Mobile testing**

Mobile testing is available on Team and Enterprise plans. Only workspaces created from enabled environments receive access.

## What it enables

The `lim` CLI and Limrun agent skills are installed in every workspace and authenticated automatically when mobile testing is enabled on its environment. Agents can create devices, build apps, drive tests, capture recordings, and share those recordings with [`replicas media`](/features/workspaces/canvas).

Each workspace receives its own scoped session. It cannot list, control, or delete another workspace's mobile testing instances, and the provider organization API key is never exposed inside workspaces.

## Example

```bash theme={null}
lim ios create --xcode
lim ios record start
lim ios record stop -o demo.mp4
replicas media upload demo.mp4
lim ios delete
```

Use `lim android create` for an Android emulator. See the [Limrun CLI guide](https://docs.limrun.com/docs/agents/cli) for the full build and device-control workflow.

## Limits

* 3 active instances per workspace
* 3-hour maximum instance lifetime
* 10-minute inactivity timeout by default
