Build and Install your App

Currently maestro supports emulator and device builds for Android (.apk) and iOS Simulator (.app).

Maestro will work with any app, but our experience has been:

  • If you want to build the confidence to ship your app, test the app that's most production-like

  • If you want better performance, don't use debug builds - Maestro inherently needs to be chatty, and this can be slower on debug builds.

More details on how to build an app for Maestro are in the following platform sections:
