I have a Macbook air 2020 with intel CPU and 8Gb of RAM and despite I mostly do all the coding in a Windows machine, the testing/running process on the remote mac is extremely slow but Its because the macbook is not that fast, so it would worth it to have a MacBook Pro and do the coding directly there but then you notice the VS for Mac is a complete pain compared with the one for Windows (lacks of so many features)… so at these times you as a freelancer need to be rich to have a windows machine and also a MacBook Pro if you want to have a good developing experience with Xamarin/MAUI

@leonabc298 Год назад

As an ex Mono/Xamarin Dev I’m about to give up on Maui and turn my back on MS. The Mac dev environment is so buggy you can’t even deploy release apps to Android devices without turning to the cmd. Can do consecutive builds without changing anything,one works the next breaks. I’m done.

Regarding the deployment of Visual Studio MAUI app to Apple development system, these topics are missing: 1) How to deploy MAUI app to Apple TestFlight Beta Testing (entire process) 2) How to deploy MAUI app to Apple App Store (from IPA to store..entire process)

@judgewest2000 10 месяцев назад

This is super cool and if you're building large-scale applications being deployed via the app stores then you would absolutely be running Windows / Mac alongside for the sheer simplicity of that setup to create native slick apps - I would do nothing else. If you're creating applications to be used by a more focused audience (i.e. functional apps mainly) PWA man! No mac required, no licence keys from Apple required, one codebase for iOS / Android... the API now supports push notifications which was always the holdback.

It depends on the API, most you can do with hot restart and connecting your iOS device to windows, however apis like HealthKit require entitlements so to test them you need to actually build your app with a Mac. You could still code against the apis on windows just fine if that makes sense

Can a Microsoft Blazer/MAUI app for iOS, be deployed on Apple Store or any mobile app store where it can be installed on an Apple mobile phone.

My company's choice is go for a mac mini 2020 (m1), which is now lower price after m2 released, and add internal ios devices on apple developer website (100 devices limited), build ipa files with that profile and keep installing and upgrading to internal users.

Rider even on Linux can connect / pair a Mac like VisualStudio, but without the not existing dotnet workloads for iOS / maccatalyst, everything of a iOS / Mac Catalyst project errors.. Before .net 7 they didn’t even offer the android workload, but at least it is working now again with net 7. Can you use your ‚influencer‘ magic reach to reach to MS or whomever, so we can get iOS / maccatalyst workloads for Linux? :) ❤️ And of course Maui for Linux is missing too, currently only developing Maui Android works on Linux. And the templates are broken, as long as iOS workload is unavailable for Linux, for e.g. shared project they should disable all iOS / maccatalyst TFMs e.g. : $(DotnetVersionMobile)-android; $(TargetFrameworks)$(DotnetVersionMobile)-ios;$(DotnetVersionMobile)-maccatalyst $(TargetFrameworks);$(DotnetVersionMobile)-windows10.0.19041.0
