Building a MAUI app from Visual studio 2022 on Windows to run it on Mac, Mac acts as a remote build host. ?

Question

Hi,

I have created the MAUI and Paired to the Mac system using ip address from Visual studio.
Selected the target as "Mac Catalyst" and while running from VS in windows i am getting below error,

Same way i tried from another windows machine with few changes, i am getting another below error,

Is this possible to build the MAUI app from window and MAC as build host?

If not, which will be the suitable way to go forward.

Thanks,
Murugan

visual studio 2022 does not support starting or debugging Mac Catalyst apps. you must use the dotnet command line tools (requires the maui workload). you can use visual studio code.
