Changes required to open solution in Visual Studio. The original `.sln` files were not quite correct. Created a new `vs` directory to include additional platform-specific solutions. |

net6-samples
This is an early preview of Xamarin in .NET 6 not for production use. Expect breaking changes as Xamarin is still in development for .NET 6.
This repo requires a specific build of .NET 5 rc 2:
- https://dotnetcli.azureedge.net/dotnet/Sdk/5.0.100-rc.2.20480.7/dotnet-sdk-5.0.100-rc.2.20480.7-win-x64.exe
- https://dotnetcli.azureedge.net/dotnet/Sdk/5.0.100-rc.2.20480.7/dotnet-sdk-5.0.100-rc.2.20480.7-osx-x64.pkg
NOTE: newer builds may work, but your mileage may vary. You can find the full list of builds at the dotnet/installer repo.
Projects:
- HelloAndroid - a native Xamarin.Android application
- HelloiOS - a native Xamarin.iOS application
- HelloForms, HelloForms.iOS, HelloForms.Droid - a cross-platform Xamarin.Forms application
Android
Prerequisites:
- You will need the Android SDK installed as well as
Android SDK Platform 30
. Simplest way to get this is to install the current Xamarin workload and go toTools > Android > Android SDK Manager
from within Visual Studio.
For example, to build the Android project:
dotnet build HelloAndroid/HelloAndroid.csproj
You can launch the Android project to an attached emulator or device via:
dotnet build HelloAndroid/HelloAndroid.csproj -t:Run
iOS
Prerequisites:
- Xcode 11.4. Earlier versions won't work.
To build the iOS project:
dotnet build HelloiOS/HelloiOS.csproj
To launch the iOS project on a simulator:
dotnet build HelloiOS/HelloiOS.csproj -t:Run
Known Issues
Currently...
- There is not a way to setup a binding project for Xamarin.iOS.
System.Console.WriteLine
does not work on Xamarin.Android. UseAndroid.Util.Log.Debug
for now.- Building for device doesn't work for iOS.
- Building for tvOS or watchOS does not work.
Workarounds
These are notes for things we had to workaround for these samples to work.
NuGet
Currently, NuGet is not able to restore existing Xamarin.Android/iOS
packages for a .NET 6 project. We tried $(AssetTargetFallback)
,
however, this option does not work in combination with transitive
dependencies. The Xamarin.AndroidX.*
set of NuGet packages has a
complex dependency tree.
Additionally, we had some problems with the Xamarin.Forms NuGet package listing the same assembly in both:
lib\netstandard2.0\Xamarin.Forms.Platform.dll
lib\MonoAndroid10.0\Xamarin.Forms.Platform.dll
For now we added workarounds in xamarin-android
, see
xamarin-android#4663.
