Compatibility
| Requirement | Supported |
|---|---|
| CPU | Apple silicon (arm64). |
| macOS | macOS 26 or newer. |
| Swift | Tools version 6.2. The exact compiler is recorded per run. |
Apple container |
Conformance-tested against 1.0.0 and 1.1.0. Unsupported or mixed versions fail before mutation. |
| Containerization | Pinned framework version 0.35.0, driven through the out-of-process hostwright-containerization-helper. |
Runtime providers
Section titled “Runtime providers”| Provider | --runtime-provider value |
Stable ID |
|---|---|---|
| Apple CLI | apple-cli |
apple-container-cli |
| Containerization | containerization |
apple-containerization |
Both pass the same capability-conformance suite for every feature they
declare; the Containerization provider currently exposes a smaller
local-image-only subset for image mutation. hostwright runtime providers --json reports live per-feature status for each. See Runtime
adapter.
Interface versions
Section titled “Interface versions”| Interface | Version |
|---|---|
| Manifest | 2 |
| Control API | 2 |
| Runtime Provider API | 2 |
| Plugin ABI | 1 |
| State schema | 15 |
The manifest parser accepts version: 2 and provides a deterministic preview
for legacy v1 and versionless input.
Unsupported versions, fields, endpoints, and clients fail with an explicit
error rather than partial behavior. Container images must provide a
linux/arm64 variant.
For the full set of supported and unsupported capabilities, see Limitations.
