What's New?

  • NET8 MAUI, iOS, and macOS Catalyst projects now streamline development by eliminating the need for manual changes in the csproj file to define the RuntimeIdentifier for launch and debugging.
  • The .NET SDKs have been updated to versions 7.0.312 and 6.0.418.



Xamarin.iOS Remote Build with Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac:

This enables the SSH port on the Mac server account and allows Visual Studio for Windows work with the Mac account to provide remote build features.
