AWS devicefarm documentation change

Service: devicefarm · 2025-09-10 · Documentation low

File: devicefarm/latest/developerguide/limits.md

Summary

Reorganized documentation structure into sections (Service/File/API Limits), added file format restrictions (.aab not accepted), clarified concurrency limits, and added new file size limits with truncation warnings for videos/logs/artifacts

Security assessment

Changes primarily involve service quotas and operational limits rather than security controls. The .aab format restriction appears to be a compatibility limitation rather than a security measure. Truncation warnings relate to data retention limits, not security vulnerabilities.

+
+  * The maximum file size of an app that you can upload is 4 GB. Note that we do not currently accept .aab format files for Android. 
+
+  * The maximum size of Device Farm's automatically-generated video during your test run is 1GB. Any video exceeding this size will have all remaining video content truncated. Customers can still use their own video recording solution, if present, and store it outside of Device Farm's managed storage.

+  * The maximum size of Device Farm's automatically-generated device log (logcat on Android or syslog on iOS) during your test run is 1GB. Any log exceeding this size will have all remaining logs truncated. For logs larger than 1 GB, Customers can store these logs outside of Device Farm's managed storage. 
+
+  * The maximum size cumulative of Device Farm's custom environment mode customer artifacts is 1GB. If this size is exceeded by your artifacts, then none of the artifacts will be available. 
+
+  * If the cumulative size of all artifacts generated during a test run exceeds 4GB, then some artifacts may be dropped (including the video, device logs, and customer artifacts).
