Testing on Chromium browser in iOS devices with BrowserStack Automate.
Google developed the Chromium browser, a free, open-source software project that serves as the foundation for the Chrome browser. BrowserStack Automate does not support the Chrome browser on iOS devices for web app automation testing. However, you can now test your apps using the Chromium browser on iOS devices.
Chromium browser is quite similar to Chrome browser in many ways. It is suitable for running browser automation tests as a replacement for Chrome, as it closely resembles Chrome in terms of test website behavior and testing scenarios. For iOS devices, both browsers use the WebKit browser engine in the background.
Supported devices
You can use Chromium browser on all Apple mobile devices running iOS 14 or higher.
