Are Apple App Clips on roadmap for Xamarin?

Question

I do not see Xamarin support yet for Apple App Clips. Is this on the roadmap for a future Xamarin release and is there a date for that release?

Thank you

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

This feature request was posted in github: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/8932

And others provide a workaround about it.

Prerequisit -> you have a working Xamarin iOS App and you want to add a native appclip written in swift (for size)

Recipe:

1. Create dummy xcode swift ios app (using certificates and appid of your existing xamarin app)
2. unpack the ipa of your dummy+appclip app
3. unpack the ipa of your xamarin ios app
4. add appclip folder to the unpacked xamarin ios app
5. repack + sign with your certificates
6. upload to testflight using the lates xcode beta application loader

Best Regards,

Leon Lu
