NativeBridge

Product Introduction

1. Definition: NativeBridge is a cloud-based mobile testing platform (technical category: Device Farm as a Service) providing instant access to real iOS/Android devices, simulators, and emulators via browser or IDE.
2. Core Value Proposition: It eliminates hardware dependency for mobile app testing, enabling developers to run AI-powered tests, capture crashes, and share interactive demos through a single "Magic Link" – accelerating release cycles and bug resolution.

Main Features

1. AI-Powered Test Generation: Uses Maestro framework for prompt-based test scripting. Developers input natural language commands (e.g., "Test login flow on iOS 17"), which NativeBridge converts into executable scripts via proprietary AI models, reducing test creation time by 70%.
2. Magic Link Sharing: Generates encrypted, time-limited URLs for instant app access. Underlying WebRTC streams device screens to browsers, requiring zero APK/IPA downloads. Supports embedded previews in documentation, PR reviews, or sales demos.
3. Real Device Cloud: Hosts 50+ physical devices (iPhone 15 to Pixel 8) and customizable emulators. Boots Android instances 2X faster than competitors via lightweight KVM virtualization, with SOC2/GDPR-compliant data handling.
4. IDE/CI Integrations: Native VS Code/Cursor extension syncs with GitHub/GitLab. Automates device allocation for pull requests using REST API webhooks, enabling live debugging via direct ADB/Xcode connections to cloud devices.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Fragmented testing workflows requiring physical devices, complex emulator setups, and siloed feedback loops.
2. Target Audience:
   • Mobile developers (React Native/Flutter) needing instant OS version testing
   • QA engineers automating cross-device compatibility checks
   • Product managers sharing interactive prototypes with stakeholders
3. Use Cases:
   • Automated crash replication on specific iOS 16.4 devices during CI/CD pipelines
   • Sales teams embedding live app demos in pitch decks
   • Developers debugging via ADB-connected cloud devices during code reviews

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation vs. BrowserStack/Genymotion: Unifies collaboration through shareable Magic Links (vs. isolated sessions) and delivers native performance via direct device streaming – no intermediary emulation layers. Supports 3X more concurrent real-device sessions at competitive pricing tiers.
2. Key Innovation: Proprietary "Device Streaming" architecture using WebRTC for sub-100ms latency, combined with AI test generation that understands app context (e.g., automatically detecting UI elements for test scripting).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does NativeBridge support testing for both Android and iOS apps?
   Yes, NativeBridge provides instant access to real Android devices, iOS simulators, and physical iPhones. It supports apps built with native code (Android Studio/Xcode), React Native, Flutter, or hybrid frameworks – no local hardware required.
2. How secure is app data during testing on NativeBridge?
   All sessions use 256-bit E2E encryption with automatic binary deletion post-testing. Session recordings are client-side stored, GDPR-compliant, and never shared with third parties.
3. Can I integrate NativeBridge with my existing CI/CD pipeline?
   Yes, NativeBridge offers REST API webhooks and VS Code extensions to auto-generate device links for every pull request. Direct ADB/Xcode connections enable real-time debugging within CI workflows.
4. What makes NativeBridge faster than traditional device farms?
   NativeBridge bypasses emulation overhead by streaming real device outputs via WebRTC. Its KVM-optimized Android instances boot in under 10 seconds, and AI test generation cuts script creation from hours to minutes.
5. Is there a free tier for small teams or startups?
   NativeBridge offers a free tier during launch with access to core features (limited device hours). Paid plans start at $29/user/month for unlimited Android/iOS testing and priority device access.
