## Drivers supported by the Appium team
This section lists drivers that are supported by Appium team.
### iOS Support
| Platform | Driver | Repository |
| :---: | :---: | :--- |
| iOS | [XCUITest Driver](/docs/en/drivers/ios-xcuitest.md) | https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver |
| iOS | [safaridriver](/docs/en/drivers/safari.md) | https://github.com/appium/appium-safari-driver |
| Android | [UiAutomator2 Driver](/docs/en/drivers/android-uiautomator2.md) | https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver |
| Android | [Espresso Driver](/docs/en/drivers/android-espresso.md) | https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver |
| Android, macOS, Windows, Linux | [geckodriver](/docs/en/drivers/gecko.md) | https://github.com/appium/appium-geckodriver |
| macOS | [Mac2Driver](/docs/en/drivers/mac2.md) | https://github.com/appium/appium-mac2-driver |
| Windows | [WinAppDriver](/docs/en/drivers/windows.md) | https://github.com/appium/appium-windows-driver |
iOS automation is supported with two drivers:
## Drivers supported by their own communities
- The [XCUITest Driver](/docs/en/drivers/ios-xcuitest.md)
- The [safaridriver](/docs/en/drivers/safari.md) for Apple's [safaridriver](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/testing_with_webdriver_in_safari?language=objc)
Please refer to these driver docs for setup instructions.
- Versions: 12.2 and up (as a rule, Appium supports the latest two iOS versions)
- Devices: Simulator and real device for iPhone, iPad and tvOS
- Native app support: Yes, with debug version of .app (simulator),
or correctly-signed .ipa (real devices). Underlying support is provided by
Apple's [XCUITest](https://developer.apple.com/reference/xctest) (or [UIAutomation](https://web.archive.org/web/20160904214108/https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/UIAutomationRef/) for older versions)
framework.
- Mobile web support: Yes, via automation of mobile Safari. See the [mobile web doc](/docs/en/writing-running-appium/web/mobile-web.md) for instructions.
- Hybrid support: Yes. See the [hybrid doc](/docs/en/writing-running-appium/web/hybrid.md) for instructions.
- Support for automating multiple apps in one session: No
- Support for automating multiple devices simultaneously: Yes
- Support for automating vendor-provided or third-party apps: Yes, apps which are already installed on the device
- Support for automating custom, non-standard UI controls: Minimal. You need to
set accessibility information on the control which enables some basic
automation.
### Android Support
Android automation is supported with three drivers:
- The [UiAutomator2 Driver](/docs/en/drivers/android-uiautomator2.md)
- The [Espresso Driver](/docs/en/drivers/android-espresso.md)
- The [geckodriver](/docs/en/drivers/gecko.md) for Firefox and [GeckoView](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/GeckoView)
Please refer to these driver docs for setup instructions.
- Versions: 4.3 and up
- Versions 4.3 and up are supported via Appium's [UiAutomator and UiAutomator2](http://developer.android.com/tools/testing-support-library/index.html#UIAutomator)
libraries. UiAutomator is the default driver.
- Devices: Android emulators and real Android devices
- Native app support: Yes
- Mobile web support: Yes. Automation
is effected using a bundled [Chromedriver](http://chromedriver.chromium.org)
server as a proxy. With 4.3, automation works on official Chrome
browser or Chromium only. With 4.4+, automation also works on the built-in
"Browser" app. Chrome/Chromium/Browser must already be installed on the
device under test. See the [mobile web doc](/docs/en/writing-running-appium/web/mobile-web.md) for instructions.
- Hybrid support: Yes. See the [hybrid doc](/docs/en/writing-running-appium/web/hybrid.md) for instructions.
- With default Appium automation backend: versions 4.4 and up
- Support for automating multiple apps in one session: Yes
- Support for automating multiple devices simultaneously: Yes,
though Appium must be started using different ports for the server
parameters `--port`, `--bootstrap-port` and/or
`--chromedriver-port`. See the [server args doc](/docs/en/writing-running-appium/server-args.md) for more
information on these parameters.
- Support for automating vendor-provided or third-party apps: Yes
- Support for automating custom, non-standard UI controls: No
### macOS Support
macOS automation is supported with below drivers.
- The [Mac2Driver](/docs/en/drivers/mac2.md) is for macOS 10.15 or later
- The (deprecated) [MacDriver](/docs/en/drivers/mac.md) is for lower macOS versions
### Windows Desktop Support
Windows automation is supported with below drivers.
- The [WinAppDriver](/docs/en/drivers/windows.md)
- The [geckodriver](/docs/en/drivers/gecko.md) for Firefox and [GeckoView](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/GeckoView)
