Inspector 0.7.0, Can't Create iOS Workbook

DavidLudwig

Hi,

I'm trying to use v0.7.0 of Xamarin Inspector for OSX to create a new Xamarin.iOS workbook, however it's failing to do so. When I try:

• the Inspector window gets shown, but only displays an activity indicator wheel
• the iOS Simulator doesn't launch
• the Inspector log shows that an exception gets raised.

In case it might help, I've posted a copy of the log file to: https://gist.github.com/DavidLudwig/35591202599eb949b92d3d1e3d0e6c72

Any thoughts on what might be happening, or how to fix?

Cheers,
-- David L.

Thanks for posting the log. It looks like something is up when we try to get the list of available iOS simulators.

Could you gist a couple more things for me please?

1. The contents of ~/Library/Preferences/Xamarin/Settings.plist.
2. Run

    /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mtouch --listsim="~/simlist.txt"

and gist the command output, and the contents of the created ~/simlist.txt file.

Thanks!

Apologies for the late reply, I should have responded earlier, if only to close this case. :-(

I'm now trying to get Xamarin Workbooks, or something made with it, running on an iOS device. Is this still possible?

When I try, I'm getting an error message, "Connecting to agent...", when using the default, Xamarin Forms + iOS, app-template.

If anyone is reading this, they are more than welcome to close this case, or do whatever else they want with it.

@DavidLudwig hi! Please try with the latest 1.4 release (https://developer.xamarin.com/releases/interactive/interactive-1.4/), and if you still have problems, file an issue on GitHub https://github.com/Microsoft/workbooks/issues/new.

The issue template will ask you for various data that will help us diagnose the problem, so make sure to include everything.
