The CLI is intentionally designed to mimic the Maestro Cloud API, so in most cases the migration is one line:
# before
maestro cloud --apiKey <apiKey> <appFile> <flowFile>
# after
dcd cloud <appFile> <flowFile>Start with the Quick Start to install the CLI and run your first flow.

FAQ
Is DeviceCloud really a drop-in replacement for Maestro Cloud?
For most projects, yes. The CLI mimics the Maestro Cloud API, so you change maestro cloud to dcd cloud and drop the --apiKey flag. On GitHub Actions you swap a single uses: line and all other inputs are compatible. See Quick Start and Migrating from Maestro Cloud.
How much does it cost?
DeviceCloud bills per test run i.e. a single top-level flow on a single device and are charged at $0.11 for standard iOS and $0.09 for standard Android. iPad, Google Play, tablet and non-default runner flows are charged at the advanced rate of $0.15. New accounts get $20 of free credits. See Test Run Billing.
How many tests can I run in parallel?
It depends on your plan: Pro runs up to 5 iOS and 5 Android tests at once, and Max up to 20 of each. Enterprise concurrency is arranged to fit your requirements. Once you hit your maximum, further tests queue and start automatically as capacity frees up. See Concurrency & Parallel Runs and Subscriptions.
Which devices and OS versions can I run on?
Android covers Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7 and 7 Pro plus a generic tablet, on API levels 29–36. iOS covers the iPhone 14, 15 and 16 families and the iPad Pro (6th generation) on iOS 17, 18 and 26. Not every device supports every OS version, so check the availability tables in Devices & OS Versions.
Which Maestro versions are supported?
We always support the latest version of Maestro with backwards compatibility up to v2.0.4. Runs default to v2.2.0, and you can use --maestro-version latest to always use the most up to date version. We periodically remove support for older versions, and these will be announced with plenty of warning. See Maestro Versions.
Do I need an API key, or can I just log in?
Both work. Run dcd login once for local use and our CLI will store your session, so you never pass a key on a command. For CI or any headless environment, you can generate and set DEVICE_CLOUD_API_KEY or pass --api-key. When more than one credential is present, precedence is the --api-key flag, then the environment variable, then the stored session. See Authentication.
How do I run DeviceCloud in my CI?
There are first-class integrations for GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Bitbucket Pipelines and EAS Workflows. Any other provider can call the CLI directly with npx --yes @devicecloud.dev/dcd@latest cloud <app-file> <flows-dir> and gate the build on the exit code. See CI/CD Integration.
How do I get videos, logs and test reports?
Pass --download-artifacts ALL (or FAILED) to a dcd cloud run, or fetch them after the fact with dcd artifacts --upload-id <uuid> --download-artifacts ALL. Everything is also downloadable from the console. Reports are available as junit, html, html-detailed and allure via --report. See Artifacts & Downloads and Report Formats.
Is there a time limit on a test?
Yes. Every flow has a 10-minute execution limit, after which it is automatically cancelled. Failed tests can be retried up to twice, giving a maximum of three total runs, free of charge. See Quick Start and Retry Strategies.
Can I allow-list DeviceCloud in our firewall?
Yes. Test runner egress comes from a published set of IP ranges, and the same list is served from an unauthenticated endpoint — GET https://api.devicecloud.dev/ip-addresses so your tooling can poll it rather than watching a docs page. See IP Addresses.
Can AI agents drive DeviceCloud?
Yes. The @devicecloud.dev/dcd package ships dcd-mcp, a Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients list devices, submit runs, check status and download artifacts. It's in beta, and the one billable tool can be hidden entirely with --read-only. See MCP Server.
How do I get support?
Every account gets community and team support via Discord, and you can also email support@devicecloud.dev. We aim to respond within four hours for urgent queries and three days for non-urgent. Max and Enterprise customers both receive priority email support and Enterprise customers have direct access to the team via Slack Connect. Support hours are 8am–8pm UK time, Monday to Friday. See Service Level Agreements.
