Boot and Install on Real Devices

[ramgiteng]

Hi, is there a way to boot a connected real device as well as install applications on real device? I want to be able to boot all/selective real devices and install applications on real devices. Is this possible?

U definitely can't boot the device. But yes, you can install applications

Thank you, Sai. Suppose a website has a number of new builds for the same app and I want the app on all my real devices to upgrade to the latest build. I am trying to fetch the URL of the latest build from the website so that the respective app will be able to upgrade on its own on all the real devices during every build is out. Is this possible?

Appium downloads apps from URL and installs on it's own.
Provide the app path as URL in capabilities
