  According to the installation docs I need to set a URL Type:
  Identifier: com.teststudio.APPLICATION_NAME (APPLICATION_NAME is the name of your application) 
  URL Schemes: tsAPPLICATION_NAME
  
  However, there are several names I've used for application_name including:
  
  - project name
  - target name
  - product name
  - app bundle name
  
  None of which work.  Any ideas?
  
  Thanks,
  
  George

  Hello George,
  
  See our user's guide page on Deployment > UIKit Testing. In that example, the DemoApplication project is used. Its existing DemoApplication target is cloned and renamed to DemoApplicationQA.
  
  The DemoApplicationQA  target is what's used in place of APPLICATION_NAME:
  

  • Identifier: com.teststudio.DemoApplicationQA 
  • URL Schemes: tsDemoApplicationQA 

  
  How does it not work for you? Does the newly configured target not show up as a testable application in Test Studio after deploying it to the device/simulator?

  Thanks Anthony.  I've attached a screenshot of your DemoApplicationQA URL type and it doesn't match what you say it should.  It appears to use the non-QA version instead.
  
  My app runs fine on the simulator using the duplicated target and your lib appears to load as I can see it loading in the debugger.  However, my duplicate app doesn't show up as an available app in Test Studio.
  
  Thanks,
  
  George

  FYI - our target name has a space in it... "MyApp iPhone" if that makes a difference.

  Hello George,

  It's OK to have spaces in the Target name. The URL Type Identifier and URL Scheme should not have any spaces it in, however. The APPLICATION_NAME portion need not match your duplicate Target name exactly, however we recommend consistency as a best practice. The only requirement here is that APPLICATION_NAME is unique so it doesn't conflict with other testable applications.
  
  The tstest Document Type (point 12 here) is what dictates what shows up in the testable app list within Test Studio. Ensure that is set correctly.
  
  There's also a quirk in Xcode where the -all_load Other Linker Flag (point 11 on the same page) isn't correctly retained. Ensure this is set correctly as well.
  
  You may also try Cleaning and Rebuilding the project before redeploying.
  
  

  Kind regards,
  Anthony

  Yeah, I made a little headway...sometimes you have to quit the app and Test Studio on the device.  After restarting, apps appear...
