With the new M1 Mac:s, it is possible to run iOS apps, even apps distributed via AppCenter.

But, is it possible to deploy and debug a Xamarin iOS app directly to an M1 Mac from Visual Studio for Mac?

Apparently, XCode supports debugging iOS apps directly on the M1 Mac, see here.

Xcode lists my Mac as deployment option

In Visual Studio for Mac, looking in the list of devices for iPhone deployment, I can see my USB connected iPhone/iPad devices, but the M1 Mac is not listed. Nor is it listed among the iPhone Simulator devices.

enter image description here

Is there any way to get the Mac listed among the devices so that I can deploy my iOS app directly to the Mac?

  • Currently debugging iOS apps directly on the M1 Mac with Visual studio is not supported , you can raise you question on DC for better support: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/search?space=41. – ColeX Oct 21 '21 at 07:28
