Update iOS SDK to 17 or later

Question

Hi, After publishing my app to AppStore, I received this email

I'm using Visual Studio 2022 Mac version 17.6.9 (build 415) , and Xcode 15.2

After receiving that email, I went to my iOS Xamarin project -> Properties -> iOS->Build and changed my SDK version from "default" to "17.2". However, when I attempted to release a new version via Transferer which is the tool I used to make the build available in the Apple Developer portal, I received the warning message email again.

There is a post about this problem although it is a Flutter-related thing.

Any suggestion how to fix this issue?

Answer 1

visual studio Mac with lastest updates, and lastest packages in your project should be IOS 17. going forward you need a migration path. Xamarin.macios is still supported and used by Maui. But you need a tool to sign the code. There are open feature requests for a visual studio code signing tool, but no commitment. You can install parallels and use visual studio windows to sign after converting to Maui project type. while not well documented, you can still use storyboard with Maui projects.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/migration/apple-projects?view=net-maui-8.0

you can also use Jetbrains Rider. it generates a Xcode project binding, so you can use Xcode to sign.
