Very timely. I was testing a Maui app using iOS simulator on Windows, but VS became unresponsive.

Using VSCode on the Mac allowed me to find the issue in my code and continue.

VSCode on the Mac appears to be a more straightforward approach for my situation.

Thanks for this James...been waiting on a full end to end tutorial!

I would love to see a follow up video on getting apps into stores with VS Code and Mac. iOS Provisioning in particular is more painful now that the IDEs are doing all the automatic stuff for you.

[rodrigosantosbarbosa]

Absolutely incredible and necessary video! I really needed a tutorial like this for developing on macOS. Thank you so much for this!

[solidsloth]

Finally, now I can consider trying Maui!

[MaggieL-ej]

I have been having trouble getting the Android to work with Maui on vs code. Thanks to you, that problem is finally resolved. Your video is so clear on what needs to be done. 👍

[mikewarnes]

Hi James, another stellar video, exactly what was needed..thx!.
It may be worth adding that the Android SDK location can be set in VS Code as one of the .net maui run commands under 'Configure Android' -> 'Set Android SDK Path'. You need to make sure it is pointing at the SDK location you are using in Android Studio. i'm sure it's common sense...but it tripped me up!

One for All, All for one! Thanks James to bring this video for the masses.

[ttirrell]

Exactly what I needed to get my mac configured. Thanks!!

[csharptitan]

Awesome video James. Great end to end video of how to set up and use VSCode to develop MAUI apps. Thank you again!

[UmmarFarooqMahroof]

All we need now is a full end to end deployment tutorial for iOS and Android and web

[balotambu]

Great Video James!! I've been struggling so much trying to develop and debug on a iphone device. Can you make a video of how to set up that. Provisioning profiles causing me a lot of pain

When executing on a mobile device via USB, the image stored in the project does not appear.

[zaynalobiddin]

Thank you for invaluable lessons and insights James. Is there a way to pair VS Code on a Windows machine to Mac? I am aware of being able to pair Visual Studio, however, prefer to use VS Code for a number of reasons if that's possible. Thank you

[aleksandardevic]

Thanks James, awesome video. 🚀 If you could try to cover Blazor Hybrid( MAUI) with Clean Architecture/Vertical Slice that would be wonderful.

[mariangrzesik]

Hi James, excelent video! How do you update to the latest .net version and to the latest workloads on mac?

[minatharwat]

Thx a lot James, do you mind making a video on Push Notifications with Maui?

[linglin-lx]

thanks for this video! i have a question how can we run the application on physical iPhone via VSCode?

[rkshnair]

How to select Build Config in VS Code. DEBUG_QA, DEBUG_DEV, DEBUG_PROD like that? Also how I can create APK, (Archive for Publishing) ?

[alevak]

Hi James, nice video. Just one question... Is it possible to develop the .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid desktop app for Mac and Windows on a MAC machine and build binaries for both MAC and Windows?
