Run app on Mac from Visual Studio

JulienTorrent

Hi,
I want to run my app from visual studio on my Mac. When I choose the Mac project in visual studio, it tries to run it on my computer. I can run the iPhone simulator on the Mac, but I cant run the Mac OS project on the Mac.

Is it possible to do it ? If yes how ?
Thanks for any help.

Your question is a bit unclear, but if you are asking "Can I run/debug macOS applications using Visual Studio on Windows". The answer is no.

There are a number of reasons, including questions of "How do you interact with the application you are debugging" and the technical work needed for such a feature.

There is very limited support for building Xamarin.Mac Modern libraries on Visual Studio on Windows, primarily to ease the porting of cross platform libraries.
