With SilkMobile, you can test applications running on real devices, such as iPhone, iPad and iPod. To do so follow the instructions below:

Note:

SilkMobile provides two options for testing iOS devices:

1. Full control – enables you to control any application or aspect of the device under test including 'settings' and applications that were not developed by you. This integration requires an iOS device that is jail-broken.
2. Application control – enables to control your application only. This integration doesn't require jail-broken device. For this option please refer to the iOS (Non-Jailbroken) section of the SilkMobile manual.

The first option (Full Control) is covered in this section.
