Guides / Platform support

Platform support

Oro Runtime targets Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. Native builds need the compiler and SDKs for the selected target; API support varies by platform.

Development hosts#

Host Architectures Mobile build artifacts
Linux x64, arm64 Android SDK artifacts on x64
macOS x64, arm64 iOS device and Simulator SDK artifacts
Windows x64 Desktop

Use oroc build --platform=android . or oroc build --platform=ios . with the appropriate host toolchain. See mobile targets.

Capability boundaries#

  • TLS: built-in providers are available on Linux (mbedTLS or OpenSSL) and Windows (Schannel). macOS, iOS, and Android do not ship a built-in TLS provider; oro:tls entry points return NOT_IMPLEMENTED without one. This is separate from the platform WebView's HTTPS support.
  • USB: desktop WebUSB uses libusb. Android supports enumeration and permission flow, while transfer and configuration methods return NotSupportedError. iOS WebUSB is unavailable.
  • HID and Bluetooth: Android WebHID is incomplete, and iOS/iPadOS do not expose a generic public HID API. Bluetooth has platform parity and validation gaps.
  • Local AI: the embedded LLaMA server exposes compatible chat endpoints, but does not execute tool calls. Whisper validation on Windows and mobile is incomplete.

Hosted CI exercises desktop hosts, Android Emulator, and iOS Simulator. Physical USB, HID, Bluetooth, camera, and microphone features need device-specific validation.

Consult the upstream capability and validation notes when choosing a platform-dependent API.
