-# Network Throttling
-
-***
 In Appium testing, assessing your app's performance under diverse network conditions (2G/3G/LTE) and offline scenarios, is crucial. Fluctuating upload and download speeds can significantly impact your app's behavior across different devices.
 
 LambdaTest simplifies testing by enabling simulation of diverse network conditions. Whether starting with defaults or custom profiles, these features replicate real-world scenarios, proving invaluable for Appium tests. The device maintains uninterrupted internet connectivity throughout, ensuring a reliable testing experience for your mobile applications.

+To test your **iOS** (.ipa file) or **Android** (.apk or .aab file) application on LambdaTest, you can use our public REST APIs. In this documentation, we have listed all the operations you can perform with your application via APIs or cURL commands for both Virtual and Real Devices.
+
+:::note
+The maximum size for application should not exceed 1GB.
+:::
+
+:::tip
+- If you do not have any **.apk** or **.ipa** file, you can run your sample tests on LambdaTest by using our sample :link: [Android app](https://prod-mobile-artefacts.lambdatest.com/assets/docs/proverbial_android.apk) or sample :link: [iOS app](https://prod-mobile-artefacts.lambdatest.com/assets/docs/proverbial_ios.ipa).
+:::
+
+## Upload your Application
+
+| PARAMETER | EXAMPLE | DESCRIPTION |
+|-----------------|-------------|------------|
+| `custom_id` | `-F "custom_id="Proverbial_1.0"` | You do not have to remember the `app_URL` and only use the `custom_id` to run your automation on the same app. |
+| `storage` | `-F "storage=file"` <br/> DEFAULT: `url` | Used to change the way LambdaTest stores the link. <br/> Used when we Upload using App URL |
+| `visibility` | `-F "visibility=team"` <br/> DEFAULT: `individual` | Used to change the visibility of the application being uploaded. Once the app is uploaded using the `team`, everyone in the organisation can use the same URL to run the tests. |

+
+## Processing check for your Application
+
+To unlock features such as network logs, image injection, and screenshotunblock feature for your application, app needs to undergo a processing phase. This processing takes a few minutes after the application is uploaded. You can verify if the processing is complete before running your automation script using the following API.
+
+<div className="lambdatest__codeblock">
+<CodeBlock className="language-bash">
+{`curl --location --request POST 'https://mobile-api.lambdatest.com/mobile-automation/api/v1/fetchpatchedapkurl' \
+--header 'Authorization: Basic c2hhbnRhbnV3OkFPOEh3NHJtV2hxUlJZSVl3OEk1elMzajhCS0c2ZHl3SVBZeXNNSDJPakdtbFVheXZC' \
+--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \y
+--data-raw '{
+    "appId": "APP10160161171698993659206876",
+    "networkLogsEnabled": true,
+    "imageInjectionEnabled": true,
+    "screenshotUnblockEnabled": true
+}'`}
+</CodeBlock>
+</div>
+
+The payload allows you to check the processing status for specific features. If the **patched_url** is empty, the processing is still in progress. To check if the processing for image injection or screenshot unblock is complete, pass either **imageInjectionEnabled** or **screenshotUnblockEnabled** as `true` based on the feature you are testing.
+
+```javascript
+{
+    "data": {
+        "imageinjection_ready": false, //current processing status
+        "patched_url": "",
+        "screenshotunblock_ready": false, //current processing status
+        "status": "success"
+    },
+    "status": "success"
+}

+To test your iOS (.ipa file) or Android (.apk or .aab file) application on LambdaTest, you can upload them directly from the dashboard. In this documentation, we have listed the the ways via which you can upload your application for both Virtual and Real Devices.
+
+## Real Device Dashboard
+- **Access the Dashboard :** Log in to your LambdaTest account and navigate to the [Real Device dashboard](https://applive.lambdatest.com/app).
+- **Initiate the Upload :** Click the Upload button in the dashboard and select your application file from your local system:
+  - **For Android :** Ensure the file is in `.apk` or `.aab` format.
+  - **For iOS :** Use `.ipa` format.
+Wait for the file to upload and process. A success message will indicate when your application is ready.
+- **Open App Settings :** Once uploaded, find your application in the list and click on the Settings button.
+- **Copy the App ID :** In the settings, locate the App ID field. Copy this ID, as it will be required to reference your app in automated tests or other configurations.

+> Learn how to [Upload Apps on LambdaTest’s Real Device Cloud](/support/docs/upload-apps-on-real-device-cloud/) in detail.
+
+## Automation Dashboard
+- **Access the App Automation Dashboard :** Log in to your LambdaTest account and navigate to the [App Automation Dashboard](https://appautomation.lambdatest.com/build).
+- **Upload the Application :** Click the Browse File button in the App tab under the Real Device or Virtual Device section. Select your application file from your local system:
+  - **Android :** Upload a `.aab` or `.apk` file.
+  - **iOS :** Upload an `.ipa` file.
+- **Copy the App URL :** After uploading, an `app_url` will be generated (format: `"lt://<app_url>"`). Copy this app_url and use it in your test scripts to identify your application.
