Hello,

You mean debug the Mac Catalyst app on a Mac simulator, right? If so, you have to turn to MAC, there is not a remote device option.

.NET MAUI apps that target Mac Catalyst can only be launched and debugged using Visual Studio 2022 for Mac, and you should ensure that the debug target is set to My Mac in the Visual Studio 2022 for Mac toolbar.

For more details, please refer to Build your first .NET MAUI app - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn

Best Regards,

Wenyan Zhang

I tried the example in the doc, WindowsIdentity.RunImpersonated is only supported on Windows platform. Do you want to find a same API that implements this feature on MacCatalyst?

this is a windows only feature. unix does not support changing the process owner. It not clear the use case on a Mac for this. also if you are using kerberos authenication, MacOs (and linux) only supports one active kerberos identity at a time.

also Mac Catalyst apps run in a sandbox, and thus have less permission than a normal Mac app.
