**TL;DR:** Integrate Applivery with BrowserStack App Live to test your mobile apps on real devices without manual uploads.

[App Live](https://www.browserstack.com/app-live) is BrowserStack's real-device cloud testing platform. It lets developers and QA teams run mobile Apps on real iOS and Android Devices hosted in the cloud — without a physical device lab. You can interact with Apps as end users would, test across hundreds of device and OS combinations, and debug issues in real time.

The Applivery integration with App Live allows you to connect your Applivery Workspace directly to the App Live Dashboard. Once connected, all your Apps and Builds are available for testing in BrowserStack without any manual file uploads — you select an App, pick a Device, and start a live session.

## Prerequisites

Before setting up the integration, make sure you have:

-   A [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/users/sign_up) account with App Live access. A free trial is available if you don't have one yet.
    
-   An **Applivery Service Account** and its corresponding **Bearer token**. App Live uses these credentials to authenticate against your Applivery Workspace. See [Service Accounts](https://docs.applivery.com/en/platform/api/service-accounts/) for instructions on creating one.

## Connect your Applivery Workspace to App Live

Once in the [App Live Dashboard](https://app-live.browserstack.com/), in the **Select Source** 1 panel, click **Integrate with Applivery** 2. Enter the **Bearer token** 3 from your Applivery Service Account and click **Connect Workspace** 4.

Once authenticated, you will be redirected to the App Live Dashboard with your Applivery Workspace connected. Your Apps and projects will now be available in the **Select Source** panel.

## Browsing Apps and Releases

App Live organizes your Applivery data using a three-level hierarchy:

```
Project → Apps → Releases
```

-   **Projects** correspond to your Applivery Apps. The list includes both projects you have added yourself and projects shared with you by teammates.
    
-   **Apps** within each project show all applications associated with it.
    
-   **Releases** show all Builds available for testing within a given App.
    

Select a project, then an App, then a release to access the available Devices and start a test session.

![project app releases](https://docs.applivery.com/int/_r2/media/09ac0a4e-3ad8-478f-9f15-3474973eec71/8d9bde57-5f32-4c5d-aecc-3408f3f1d275.png)

## Sharing Projects with your Team

Once you have added a project, you can share it with your team. Shared projects appear on your teammates' App Live Dashboards under the same project list.

:::info
You can only share projects that you have personally added. Projects shared with you by others cannot be re-shared.
:::

In the project list, click the **⋮** 5 (more options) icon next to the project name, select **Share** 6, and confirm by clicking **Share** 7 in the dialog.

![share project](https://docs.applivery.com/int/_r2/media/09ac0a4e-3ad8-478f-9f15-3474973eec71/cee3849b-6563-431f-8591-dca5a8273d22.png)

The project is now accessible to your teammates in their App Live views.

## Synchronizing App Releases with BrowserStack

Syncing an App release uploads it to BrowserStack Cloud, which makes it available for live sessions and unlocks advanced configuration options such as large app support and video injection. Configurations applied after syncing are persistent for that release.

### Sync a release

1.  Select the project and app you want to sync.
    
2.  Click the **synchronization icon** 8 next to the App name.
    
3.  Wait for the process to complete. The sync icon changes to an unsync button when done, and configuration options become available.
    

![sync app release](https://docs.applivery.com/int/_r2/media/09ac0a4e-3ad8-478f-9f15-3474973eec71/1cf7f194-2718-418f-8a6a-3e29c98afb45.png)

### Unsync a release

Unsyncing removes the release from BrowserStack Cloud. After unsyncing, the App will no longer be available for testing in App Live, and configurations cannot be applied.

1.  In the App list, click the **unsync icon** 9 next to the App name.
    
2.  The release is removed from BrowserStack Cloud.

## Launching an App Live Session

1.  Open the App Live Dashboard and select a project from the list.
    
2.  Choose the App you want to test.
    
3.  Select a release — the latest version is automatically synced to ensure you are testing the most recent build.
    
4.  Choose a Device from the available options.
    
5.  The session launches with your selected App and device.

### Disconnect your Applivery Workspace

To remove all projects you have personally added and disconnect your Applivery Workspace from App Live:
