I am running the Apple M1 chip with macOS Big Sur 11.6. Would I be able to take this issue @yury-s @mxschmitt ?

Although I only tried on x86 and macOS 10.5 I believe it's reproducible on all macOS versions regardless of hardware architecture. If you are worried about building webkit on m1 - we do that as we ship binaries for m1. Update: sorry, I meant chromium.

I can confirm having the same issue in the M1 Pro with macOS Monterey 12.0. It hangs when specifying firefox as browser as well! Let me know if I could help doing some QA in case you have a poc @LuigiZaccagnini

Coming back to this my problem was actually that I had two conflicting versions of Playwright. In the end it all worked perfectly!

Yeah, I am seeing this issue on macOS x86 (12.3.1 (21E258)) too for the Chromium browser.

Would love this fixed since we will be using the UI mode a lot and clicking the icon in the dock. Thanks!

Yeah this also happens in UI mode. I can reproduce it in Playwright 1.32.1 on macOS 13.2.1 (Apple silicon).

JFYI, same issue here ( macOS 12.6.2, PW 1.36.0 ). as a dummy workaround i use RMB click -> Playwright test window row click :
