❔ Run MaUI .NET 6 Mac Catalyst from Rider

Hello,

I created a MaUI app on Visual Studio for mac and would like to switch to Rider (RD-232.10203.29).
My goal is to execute the app using the Mac Catalyst target, however, I can't make it running on Rider.

It's working like a charm on Visual Studio (see configuration attached) when the debug configuration is used, but get the following error on the default Rider's Mac Catalyst configuration (see attachment) :
0>Xamarin.Shared.targets(870,3): Error  : /usr/bin/xcrun exited with code 1
        
0>Xamarin.Shared.targets(870,3): Error  : actool exited with code 1
        
0>Assets.xcassets: Error  actool: The operation couldn’t be completed. Failed to locate any simulator runtime matching options: {
    BuildVersionString = 21A326;
    Platforms =     (
        "com.apple.platform.iphonesimulator"
    );
    VersionString = "17.0";
}

Yes, it looks like its trying to run on an iOS emulator. But why ?

Did a few things to try and fix the issue :
  • Removing `net6.0-ios;` from the .csproj TargetFrameworks property. It worked, but not a big fan of that solution. I might need to run it on iOS
  • Modifying the ".NET Launch Settings Profile" configuration (again, see configuration attached) but in vain, as it forces user to select a launch profile (see attachments in the next message). Here is my project's `launchSettings.json` :```Json{"profiles": { "Windows Machine": { "commandName": "Executable", "nativeDebugging": false }}}```I guess having a "Windows Machine" profile there does not apply in my case ?
  • Running the project thanks to the following command : `dotnet run --framework net6.0-maccatalyst`. It's working, but not handy at all while developing.
  • Trying to see what's under the Visual Studio configuration's hood, but could not find anything.
Does anybody experienced the same issue or could be of any help ?

Thanks a lot in advance ! ❤️
