Studio on macOS (Preview)

Run UiPath Studio natively on macOS with Apple silicon, including requirements, installation, supported project types, and known limitations of the Public Preview.

Important:

Studio on macOS is in Public Preview. Preview features are not recommended for production use.

Studio runs natively on Macs with Apple silicon. You can design, run, and debug cross-platform automations on your Mac, and publish them to Orchestrator.

Requirements​

  • A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later). Intel-based Macs are not supported.
  • macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
  • At least 8 GB of free disk space.

Install Studio​

Download the macOS installer package from the Resource Center in UiPath Automation Cloud. It installs Studio together with UiPath Assistant, which Studio needs to sign in and to run automations. For the steps, refer to Install on macOS in the UiPath Platform Installer guide.

The first time you indicate a UI element, macOS asks you to grant permissions to UiPath UIAutomation. Turn on the permissions in System Settings > Privacy & Security, and then indicate the element again. For details, refer to Grant macOS permissions.

Supported projects​

On macOS, you can create and open only cross-platform projects. Windows and Windows - Legacy projects cannot be opened.
