See "Entities and Layering" for a deeper explanation of the relationship between verifiers and issuers, the Digital Credentials API, the underlying operating system, and credential managers.

²Other browsers run as Android apps on Chrome OS

³Limited protocol support, see iOS | macOS

⁴Behind a feature flag

The table below conveys end-to-end combinations of operating systems, browsers, protocols, and credential managers.

A couple of notes about the table:

Browsers which do not support the Digital Credentials API are not listed and are not included for Any (see the Digital Credentials API (Web) tab).
Client OS refers to the device where the Digital Credentials API is called.

AW: Apple Wallet

•

GW: Google Wallet

•

SW: Samsung Wallet

•

CM: Credential Manager

•

XDP: Cross-Device Presentation

•

XDI: Cross-Device Issuance

•

SDP: Same-Device Presentation

SDI: Same-Device Issuance

•

Annex C: ISO 18013-7 Annex C

Client OS	Client Browser	Type & Flow	Protocol	CM Device	CM	Status	Notes
Android	Any	XDP	Any	Any	Any	SUPPORTED	Android supports cross-device presentation from another device when there is no credential available locally that can satisfy the request. This experience supports all protocols but but keep in mind iOS only supports Annex C.
iOS	Any	XDP	Any	Any	Any	NOT SUPPORTED	iOS does not currently support presentation from a credential manager on another device.
macOS	Safari	XDP	Annex C	iOS	Any (incl. AW)	SUPPORTED
macOS	Safari	XDP	Annex C	Android	Any	SUPPORTED
macOS	Safari	XDP	OID4VP	Android	Any (incl. GW & SW)	NOT SUPPORTED	Safari and macOS will only allow ISO 18013-7 Annex C requests, which prevents any other protocol request from reaching another device. No workaround available.
macOS	Chrome	XDP	Any	iOS	Any (incl. AW)	SUPPORTED	Chrome implements the cross-device protocol directly and doesn't restrict protocol usage, but keep in mind iOS itself only supports Annex C.
macOS	Chrome	XDP	Any	Android	Any (incl. GW & SW)	SUPPORTED	Chrome implements the cross-device protocol directly and doesn't restrict protocol usage.
macOS	Edge	XDP	Any	iOS	Any (incl. AW)	SUPPORTED	Edge implements the cross-device protocol directly and doesn't restrict protocol usage, but keep in mind iOS itself only supports Annex C.
macOS	Edge	XDP	Any	Android	Any (incl. GW & SW)	SUPPORTED	Edge implements the cross-device protocol directly and doesn't restrict protocol usage.
Ubuntu	Chrome	XDP	Annex C	iOS	Any (incl. AW)	SUPPORTED	Chrome implements the cross-device protocol directly on Ubuntu and does not restrict protocols but iOS itself only supports Annex C.
