I used Xamarin forms but it going to be obsolete so I decided to migrate to Maui. I updated code with assistant and in Android I can build project in emulator but can’t do this in iOS. When I launch VS for MAC I got a message telling me Visual studio Mac will be obsolete in August 2024. So first I don’t know if I can build in VS before august. I also noticed I can’t install latest VS version (I’m using v17)
My issue is when wanting select target device I don’t see any iOS device, I got :
- net-8.0-ios
- net-8.0-android
- net-8.0-maccatalyst
Moreover at the top I got a message telling I’ve not SDK software development installed
Here is my configuration
.NET version : 8.0.301
.NET sdk : 8.0.301, 7.., 6.., 5.., 3..
So here are my questions :
- Can I build in iOS device simulator using VS, if yes why I can’t build my project
- Is there someone able to build with VS or VS code
hope the following informations are sufficient. If you need more info about something I can give you answer.
I also tried to build in vscode but there are some bugs with .NET extension which is not the subject of this topic.
I also tried to create new MAui project to test initial project build and got same issue

<!-- Note for MacCatalyst:

When specifying both architectures, use the plural <RuntimeIdentifiers> instead of the singular <RuntimeIdentifier>.
The Mac App Store will NOT accept apps with ONLY maccatalyst-arm64 indicated;
either BOTH runtimes must be indicated or ONLY macatalyst-x64. -->
