# Xamarin.iOS & Xamarin.Mac # ## Welcome! This module is the main repository for both **Xamarin.iOS** and **Xamarin.Mac**. These SDKs allow us to create native iOS, tvOS, watchOS and macOS applications using the same UI controls we would in Objective-C and Xcode, except with the flexibility and elegance of a modern language (C#), the power of the .NET Base Class Library (BCL), and two first-class IDEs—Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio—at our fingertips. This repository is where we do development for the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDKs. There are a few ways that you can contribute, for example: - [Submit bugs and feature requests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Submitting-Bugs-&-Suggestions) - [Review source code changes](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pulls) - [Submit pull requests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute#pull-requests) to resolve issues and fix bugs ## Contributing If you are interested in fixing issues and contributing directly to the code base, please see the document [How to Contribute](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute), which covers the following: - How to [build and run](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Build-&-Run) from source - The [development workflow](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute#work-branches), including [debugging](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Build-&-Run#debugging-applications-from-source) and [running tests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/blob/main/tests/README.md) - [Coding Guidelines](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute#coding-guidelines) - [Submitting pull requests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute#pull-requests) ## Downloads The preferred method for installing Xamarin.iOS and Mac is to use the Visual Studio installers ([Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/xamarin/ios/get-started/installation/windows/?pivots=windows), [Mac](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/mac/installation?view=vsmac-2019)). The team also [strongly recommends](https://docs.microsoft.com/xamarin/ios/troubleshooting/questions/old-version-xcode) using the latest Xamarin SDK and Xcode whenever possible. However, we provide links to older Xamarin.iOS and Mac packages for macOS downgrades and build machine configuration. | Version | Xamarin.iOS | Xamarin.Mac | |---------|-------------------|-------------------| | d16.9 (Xcode 12.5) | [14.16.0.5][27] | [7.10.0.5][28] | | d16.9 | [14.14.2.5][25] | [7.8.2.5][26] | | d16.8 (Xcode 12.4) | [14.10.0.4][23] | [7.4.0.10][24] | | d16.8 (Xcode 12.3) | [14.8.0.3][21] | [7.2.0.3][22] | | d16.8 (Xcode 12.2) | [14.6.0.15][19] | [7.0.0.15][20] | | d16.8 | [14.4.1.3][17] | [6.22.1.26][18] | | d16.7 | [14.2.0.12][15] | [6.20.2.2][16] | | d16.6 | [13.18.2.1][13] | [6.18.2.1][14] | | d16.5 | [13.16.0.13][11] | [6.16.0.13][12] | | d16.4 | [13.10.0.21][9] | [6.10.0.21][10] | | d16.3 | [13.6.0.12][7] | [6.6.0.12][8] | | d16.2 | [12.14.0.114][5] | [5.14.0.114][6] | | d16.1 | [12.10.0.157][3] | [5.10.0.157][4] | | d16.0 | [12.8.0.2][1] | [5.8.0.0][2] | ## Feedback - Ask a question on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/xamarin.ios) or the [Xamarin Forums](https://forums.xamarin.com/) - [Request a new feature](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Submitting-Bugs-&-Suggestions#writing-good-bug-reports-and-feature-requests) on GitHub - [Vote on existing feature requests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Submitting-Bugs-&-Suggestions#before-submitting-an-issue) - [Submit bugs to GitHub Issues](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Submitting-Bugs-&-Suggestions) - Discuss development and design on [Discord](https://discord.gg/Gw6cvsq) [](https://discord.gg/Gw6cvsq) ## License Copyright (c) .NET Foundation Contributors.
