Installing the extension on macOS

Studio User Guide
Last updated May 12, 2025
Installing the extension on macOS
There are several methods for loading the Java extension from a custom directory on macOS, similar to the process on a Windows environment.
While these examples are based on a Java application named
JavaDisabledElements
launched from a .jar
file,
they are applicable to other applications as well.
This method is applicable across all versions of Java, including Java 9 or greater:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-1.8.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -cp /Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/JavaSupport/UiPathBridge.jar:/Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/JavaSupport/UiPathV8.jar:/Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/Qa/UiPath.Driver.Tests/open/TestApps/JavaDisabledElementsApp/JavaDisabledElements.jar -Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies=UiPath.UiPathBridge JavaDisabledElements
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-1.8.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -cp /Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/JavaSupport/UiPathBridge.jar:/Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/JavaSupport/UiPathV8.jar:/Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/Qa/UiPath.Driver.Tests/open/TestApps/JavaDisabledElementsApp/JavaDisabledElements.jar -Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies=UiPath.UiPathBridge JavaDisabledElements
Expected output:
Loading UiPathBridgeInterface Dll
Java resources directory: /Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/JavaSupport
tryLoadFromPredefinedPaths
UiPathJavaBridge Interface DLL loaded from: /Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/UiPathJavaBridgeV8.dylib
Java Version: 1.8.0_401

If the Java runtime supports the extension loading mechanism, you can use environment variables. Here is an example:
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Djava.ext.dirs=/Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/JavaSupport -Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies=UiPath.UiPathBridge
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -jar /Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/Qa/UiPath.Driver.Tests/open/TestApps/JavaDisabledElementsApp/JavaDisabledElements.jar
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Djava.ext.dirs=/Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/MacOS/Output/JavaSupport -Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies=UiPath.UiPathBridge
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -jar /Users/example/Documents/UiPath/Driver/Qa/UiPath.Driver.Tests/open/TestApps/JavaDisabledElementsApp/JavaDisabledElements.jar
Expected output:
