Apple opens developer proposals for Interop 2027

DNA Brief

Signal Summary

Interop 2027 is the next edition of a cross-browser interoperability initiative that Apple has worked on with Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Bocoup, and Igalia. The annual effort began in 2022, selects focus areas partly from community proposals, and measures progress with shared Web Platform Tests; the source does not yet identify the proposals that will be selected.

Why It Matters

The September 23 deadline is an early step in setting the web compatibility priorities for the next year. Proposals that are selected will become candidates for shared testing and cross-browser work, but the final Interop 2027 focus areas remain unknown.
