Anonymous2023-09-08T02:34:57.5766667+00:00 Could you give me more information about PROCESS? Is that a third-party software?
Do you want to debug WPF application in VS for Mac? Or do you want to make your MAUI application run in the Mac?
What is the expected behavior and how does that differ from the actual behavior?

note: if M1/2 then the vm will be windows arm, and the WPF app must support running on windows arm.
