Cannot install it on Mac: catalina, is it supported in 2021?

[romain130492]

Expected Behavior

Should it work on Mac, as the doc says?
However I cannot install it, when installing it with python3 I get :

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32 (from pywinauto) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32 (from pywinauto)

• I saw other threads mentioning that some changes have been made in order to support Mac,
  Thanks!

Hi @romain130492 macOS support is planned (see PR #841 and we have some private branches, currently one student is working on macOS code). macOS support is generally tracked in issue #335. I would say it has ~alpha quality. If you're interested in early testing, please let us know.

Unfortunately there is no exact release date for macOS. But @dariacher is going to present her Master's Degree work in June 2022. So there is some hope it will be included into 0.7.0 (which is currently for Linux support + some general re-factoring).

Any update on this? Is there a branch we can contribute to? Thank you! 🙏

PR #1213 is the most fresh one. But the PR author is not active in the project any more. I can pick this branch up to macos branch in the upstream repo so that next PR would be visible to me. There was a plan to use Circle CI macOS image with disabled SIP to enable accessibility programmatically and test the whole macOS backend in CI: https://circleci.com/docs/testing-macos/
