Install IOS/Android Builds from App Center to run Team City Automation Jobs

Our Mobile App development team just started releasing Mobile app builds(Apk/IPA files) into AppCenter for QA Testing. For Automation Execution purposes, Can you let me know using Appium Capabilities if there is a way to download and install QA builds from App Center into real mobile devices(Android/IOS)?

AppCenter has API. What problem in test code download needed app from any needed branch (release or master) builded for any needed environment (dev or prod) ?

I general - Appium can download app from any url but you should obtain this url from AppCenter e.g. using API calls first.

for Appium app capability see -> http://appium.io/docs/en/writing-running-appium/caps/#general-capabilities -> “app” capability
