Fixes: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/10252
To implement templates in a .NET workload:
1. Make `.nupkg` files that follow the structure of the `dotnet new`
templating system, using `$(PackageType)` of `Template`.
2. Install the `.nupkg` files in in `dotnet/template-packs/`
3. Update `WorkloadManifest.json`, to be part of the workload:
"Microsoft.@PLATFORM@.Templates": {
"kind": "template",
"version": "@VERSION@"
}
These are a starting point, for what I would consider the minimum for
the xamarin-macios repo to provide for now:
Template Name Short Name Language Tags
-------------------------------------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------------
iOS Controller template ios-controller [C#] iOS
iOS Application ios [C#] iOS
iOS Class library ioslib [C#] iOS
macOS Application macos [C#] macOS
MacCatalyst Application maccatalyst [C#] macOS/Catalyst
tvOS Application tvos [C#] tvOS
We will probably need PM input on what the final templates will be.
To use these, you might do:
$ mkdir MyApp && cd MyApp
$ dotnet new ios
$ dotnet new ios-controller --name LoginController --namespace MyApp
