Configuration

With Appetize's configuration options, users can easily switch between different device and operating system versions, languages, and many other options in order to customize their experience.

You can configure the client to change the device, OS version, app, and various other options. This will set the configuration for the embed before the session starts, either programmatically or by user interaction.
await client.setConfig({
    device: 'iphone11pro',
    osVersion: '15.0'
})
Additionally, you can provide these when starting a session programmatically:
const session = await client.startSession({
    device: 'iphone11pro',
    osVersion: '15.0'
})
Initial values may also be provided in the embed URL. See Query Params Reference.

For Appetize's built-in intercepting proxy, use intercept. Network logs are emitted from the session as a network event.
Our current support is limited to HTTP Proxies. When your app makes HTTPS connections, the data remains encrypted despite the unencrypted connection to the proxy. The app sends a CONNECT request to the proxy for the destination HTTPS server, initiating an SSL handshake. The proxy acts as a TCP connection forwarder, ensuring end-to-end encryption for app data.
