How do I run UITests on actual mobile devices in the App Center from a release pipeline

Question

I want to create a release pipeline in Azure Devops to test my app.

I have 2 artifacts. One is an APK install file. The other is a UI test DLL. My assumption is that I can upload these artifacts to the AppCenter in order to test the app.

But what kind of task should I create in my pipeline? and how should it be configured? I cannot find a task related to AppCenter.

Thanks for the help.

We can use the task App Center Test. This task lets you run test suites against an application binary (.apk or .ipa file) using App Center Test, you can refer to this doc Using Azure DevOps for UI Testing for more details
