AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
No instrumentation or source code is required to use the built-in tests. Android apps can be submitted as is. iOS apps should be built with “iOS Device” as the target instead of a simulator.
Do you store my app, tests, and other files on your servers? For how long?

Apps and files you upload are automatically removed after 30 days. Test results, screenshots, and videos are stored for 15 months. You can also choose to delete files and results at any time through the AWS Device Farm console or API.
How do you clean up devices after my testing is completed?
Setting Up Tests & Remote Access Sessions
AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
After test execution completes, we perform a series of cleanup tasks on each device, including uninstallation of your app. If we cannot verify uninstallation of your app or any of the other cleanup steps, the device will be removed and will no longer be available.
While we continue to add additional cleanup steps and improve the cleanup process, it is possible for data to persist between sessions in some cases, especially if you make use of the device system outside the context of your app. For this reason, and because AWS Device Farm captures video and logs of activity taking place during your use of each device, it is recommended that you avoid providing or entering sensitive information such as account info (E.g., Google Account, Apple ID), personal information, and other security-sensitive details during your automated test and remote access sessions.
