FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Xamarin.iOS projects to .NET?▼

Migrate Xamarin.iOS projects to .NET by creating a new SDK-style project template, copying your existing code, and applying step-by-step workflows for TargetFramework, RuntimeIdentifier, and Info.plist relocation changes.

What is the process for updating NuGet dependencies during a Xamarin macOS migration?▼

Updating NuGet dependencies during a Xamarin macOS migration involves referencing compatibility guidance to transition packages and binding libraries to support the new net8.0 target framework requirements.

Can I use this guided workflow for Xamarin.tvOS apps?▼

Yes, you can use this guided workflow for Xamarin.tvOS apps, as it provides specific reference mappings, MSBuild properties, and entitlements guidance tailored for iOS, macOS, and tvOS platform migrations.

What is the best way to handle code signing transitions when upgrading Xamarin apps?▼

The best way to handle code signing transitions when upgrading Xamarin apps is to follow the provided compatibility guidance, ensuring your entitlements and signing configurations correctly map to the new .NET project structure.

Why does my Xamarin migration require RuntimeIdentifier conversion?▼

Xamarin migration requires RuntimeIdentifier conversion because .NET SDK-style projects use RuntimeIdentifiers to specify the target platform, replacing older framework monikers and ensuring correct build outputs for iOS, macOS, or tvOS.
