Aweeeeeeeeee! Thanks bro. Awesome stuff!😁😁

[@app-alchemy]

Haha you're very welcome!! So great to see this tutorial is helping people!

[@MarcAmposta]

Excellent! Thanks for this tutorial, I created an app to manage the home alarm and garage door from android auto(me) and apple car(wife) :)

[@app-alchemy]

That's amazing Marc! I'm so glad to hear you were able to target both platforms for your app! Is your app available on the app stores so we can check it out? Congrats on your hard work paying off! Definitely something you should list on your CV, I can think of a few companies out there that would be interested in having that kind of functionality with their devices.

Thank you!!

[@cissemy]

Great. Is it possible to build an app for Apple TV using Maui ?

[@matfillion]

How long did it take for Apple to enable your entitlements?

[@app-alchemy]

It has been quite some time since I got mine, but I remember it felt like I was waiting forever for Apple to finally give it to me. Somewhere in the vicinity of a month or so.

[@HoodieJumper]

11:40 you mentioned that getting the UISceneConfigurationName was difficult to sort with Xamarin. I currently need to do this in Xamarin, is it still possible in xamarin? If so, how?

[@app-alchemy]

Ah yes, it is quite a tricky one to get right. I posted a rough guide on this Stackoverflow thread: stackoverflow.com/a/74532683/10628498 . Let me know if it works for you!

[@HoodieJumper]

@@app-alchemy It was, yes! My issue i was finding, was i hadn't created a DeviceSceneDelegate in my project. Thanks

[@app-alchemy]

@@HoodieJumper That's fantastic news! I'm glad it worked for you.
