As a licensed M.E with 23 years of service I can officially say; this is the most utterly complex workflow and processes I've ever came across in a life-time. Appreciate the time and effort to explain. Although I haven't understood anything workflow/logic-wise, it does clearly highlights the need to outsource this clicking-insanity. Thanks for the heads up!

[@stevehutch]

Excellent tutorial. I had to find out the hard way in the past how to do this and spent longer on this than developing my app. This tutorial made the whole process much more straightforward. Unfortunately, due to my Mac being a late 2014 model, i am limited to BigSur OS, which will not allow XCode 16.1 to be installed ( limits me to XCode v13.2.1 ). Apple appear to have imposed a rule that to upload an app to the Apple Store you have to have XCode 16.1 or later on your Mac. So i have to weigh up the costs. Will my app generate sufficient revenue to warrant buying a mac that supports XCode 16.1?

[@Criss129]

What should I do when i want to generate .ipa file just for testing on iphone (Iphone that i don't have in hands, just want to send it to someone for tests)?

Oof that sucks! Not sure of the exact hardware. I’ve found that the cheapest option is to get a secondhand Mac mini. But you’ll have to find one that still gets some macOS updates that are recent. Or use a service like macincloud.com

Hey Gerald, any chance you can do an updated video? Many of the things shown in this video are no longer relevant and I'm stuck trying to figure out how to complete this task. Thanx!

[@jfversluis]

How are they no longer relevant? I do plan one at some point, but from what I know this should also still work?

[@RobertBeaubien]

@@jfversluis The process for getting a new certificate is available directly through Visual Studio (Tools / Options / Xamarin / Apple Accounts). Setting the certificate and profile is in the property pages for the project file (no longer have to type xml and copy/paste certificate names). The standard XML information has changed in the project file. While this doesn't necessarily break the examples in the video, it certainly doesn't look the same since .NET8 has been released. I haven't gotten my build published yet, but the total process didn't work for me so far. In general, it seems a lot of tools to help have been added since you created this video (seems to be the case with many MAUI videos). I do very much appreciate your insights into MAUI development and look forward to your future videos. Thanx.

[@duncanfirth]

What about hot restart hot reload. Can't ios be developed in VS with an ios mobile device? There are issues in xamarin forms and hot restart and the certificates. Developing on a Mac is just not possible for some of us.

[@jfversluis]

You will always need a Mac for a small part of the process. You will need to get a certificate from macOS and the final build that goes to the App Store needs to be done on a Mac. The latter can be done through using App Center or Azure DevOps. The former you will somehow need to access a Mac, once a year as the certificates also expire, somehow.

Transporter only works from your Mac so you’ll have to use that. You can use the ipa you have on Windows though. That should be the same

[@hbraasch]

@@jfversluis Thanks for the prompt reply. Do I copy the ipa on Windows to the Mac, then run Transporter? Or is there an ipa soewhere on the Mac already?

There should be an ipa on the Mac already as well, but it doesn’t really matter. It should be the same. So you can just copy it to your Mac and upload that

Yes, got it to work by copying to Mac (shared folder), then dragging it into Transporter. Quite simple.

There are hundreds of apps available on the app stores today. One is about to be launched by the Dutch government next month with a current user base of 15 million downloads and 5 million active sessions per month. Are there absolutely no issues, there definitely are. Can you release your app today, absolutely 100%. .NET 8 will have a ton of improvements on quality. It should be more smooth sailing from there hopefully. Thanks for making the product better by logging the issues!
