How to build macOS native automations

Prerequisites

  • UiPath Assistant is installed and updated to 2025.0.167 or newer.
  • UiPath Assistant is started, connected to the current organization/tenant.
  • The user is connected UiPath Assistant to the same tenant/folder from where Studio Web is opened.
  • Accessibility permissions are set for UiPath Assistant.

Create your UI automation

Open Studio Web and add a Use Application/Browser activity to the canvas:
  • For browser automation select a browser tab to automate from the Work in scope dropdown.
  • For desktop automation, switch the Indicate on local machine toggle to On.

    Before clicking Indicate on local machine you need to set the Test environment to Test on local machine and click Allow on the popup message "Do you want to allow this website to open UiPath Assistant?".

    After that you can click the Indicate on local machine button to use the UiPath Assistant for starting the selection on your macOS machine. You can indicate any of the application on desktop.

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