dotnet-xcsync 0.1.0-preview.24509.2

xcsync is a tool that enables developers to leverage Xcode for managing Apple specific files with .NET projects. The tool generates a temporary Xcode project from a .NET project and synchronizes changes to the Xcode files back to the .NET project.

Supported file types include:

• Asset catalog
• Plist
• Storyboard
• Xib The tool has two commands: generate and sync. Use generate to create an Xcode project from a .NET project and sync to bring changes in the Xcode project back to the .NET project.

Getting Started

Install the tool package using:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-xcsync

To use the tool with a .NET project that targets iOS, macOS, MacCatalyst, or tvOS Target Framework Monikers (TFM), use the following commands:

• Generate and open an Xcode project for a .NET project that uses the project file in the current directory, which supports the net9.0-ios TFM:

  dotnet generate -tfm net9.0-ios
  

• Sync changes from a generated Xcode project in the default location (./obj/Xcode) back to a .NET project that supports the net9.0-ios TFM:

  dotnet sync --project path/to/maui.csproj -tfm net9.0-ios
