On macOS, the OS build version can be determined by running the sw_vers(1) utility. example of a macOS build version is '18E193'. Safaridriver will only create a session using hosts whose OS build version matches the value of safari:platformBuildVersion. For example, if the value of safari:platformVersion is '12', this will allow hosts with an OS version of '12.0' or '12.1' but not '10.12'. Safaridriver will only create a session using hosts whose OS version matches the value of safari:platformVersion.
