Description

Describe the problem

tauri-driver does not support Mac.

I have a Tauri app that has some platform-specific code in it. (Think: tauri-plugin-deep-link). I need to write automated tests of my app, and I need to run on every platform, as the platform-specific code must be verified on every platform.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like tauri-driver to support mac similarly to how it supports windows and linux

Alternatives considered

Selenium Test on windows/linux, and get by with manual testing and unit tests on mac for mac-specific functionality

Additional context

I understand this is not a priority for the tauri team, understandable as most app testing can be done on a single platform. I still wanted to file this to collect interest and any more information about solving this.

I would be interested in contributing this based upon required effort and my own priorities.

Does the tauri team have any thoughts on how this could be implemented?

I did some research and while there is a safaridriver I don't see a WKWebview driver for selenium

Research direction
Investigate existing SafariDriver and WKWebView driver implementations. Review the tauri driver codebase to understand the architecture and how Windows and Linux drivers are implemented. Engage with the community in the issue comments to gather insights. Possibly look into the WebDriver W3C specification for macOS specifics.
