What is new?

Preview of Apple Silicon support

Note

This release includes a preview for building Apple Silicon Xamarin.Mac apps.

  • 10046 - Xamarin.Mac native Apple Silicon targeting support. Community Contribution

In order to build Xamarin.Mac apps that target Apple Silicon (arm64) you will need to manually modify your csproj and add/replace the XamMacArch property to include the ARM64 value.

Example for building an universal App bundle:

<XamMacArch>x86_64,ARM64</XamMacArch>

Also if your project depends on any native libraries make sure that these will also have the arm64 slice (be an universal binary) in order to avoid native linker issues.
