Tophat is a macOS desktop application by Shopify for installing and testing mobile applications on iOS and Android devices with a single click. It fetches builds from CI artifact providers via URLs, Quick Launch, or the tophatctl CLI, and is extensible through the TophatKit SDK.
Use cases
- install CI-built mobile app builds on devices without cloning repos
- let contributors test pull requests on simulators or devices
- quickly launch the latest build of frequently used apps
- manage and pin multiple test devices
- integrate custom build and caching systems via extensions
When to choose
- your team builds mobile apps with CI and wants one-click installs
- you want testers to try PR builds without local builds
- you need a launcher for frequently tested app builds on iOS or Android
When to avoid
- you only develop web or desktop applications
- you have no CI pipeline producing app artifacts
- you need automated UI testing rather than app installation
