Building macOS native automations

Prerequisites

To start building macOS native automations, make sure you meet the following requirements:
  • You install and update UiPath Assistant to 2025.0.167, or newer.
  • You start and connect UiPath Assistant to the current organization, and tenant.
  • You connect UiPath Assistant to the same tenant, or folder as where you opened Studio Web.
  • You set accessibility and screen recording permissions for UiPath Assistant.

Creating your UI automation

To create your UI automation, take the following steps:
  1. Open Studio Web.
  2. Add a Use Application/Browser activity to the canvas.
    Note: To create a browser automation, select a browser tab to automate from the Work in scope dropdown.
  3. To create a desktop automation, switch the Indicate on local machine toggle to On.
  4. Set the Test environment to Test on local machine. When the popup message appears, asking you to allow the website to open UiPath Assistant, select Allow.
  5. Select Indicate on local machine.

    UiPath Assistant starts the selection on your macOS machine.

    You can indicate to any of the applications on desktop.

    Note: The first time you indicate, the initial startup may take longer, depending on your download speed.


  6. In the Use Application/Browser app card, add a UI Automation activity, such as Click.
  7. Select Indicate target.

    The Studio Web window minimizes, and you can indicate any element using Selection Helper, as well as use the functionality of the Advanced Selector Editor for fine-tuning the selectors.



Running your automation

To run your automation, choose the Test on local machine option in Studio Web.
