In spite of the existing iOS project in the list of the solution it is not so easy to convert your C#- code into a running apple- iOS – App. Apple itself make some restrictions and like to make your live difficult. First without a connected Apple- machine like a Mac or a Macbook there is no way. An additional machine is absolutely unavoidable. We have decided to by a Mac mini, which is the cheapest possibility and spent about 500\u20ac. A connection to your network is also necessary, but a WLAN- connection is sufficient.<\/p>\n
You have to install the latest versions of Xcode and Visual Studio for MAC on that machine. Then activate a connection to this MAC from your VS with your cross platform project: Menu Tools –> iOS –> Pair to Mac. Look for the correct IP- number and connect both machines. If connection is successful, your Win10- Visual Studio offers after selection of the iOS project a huge list of iPhone- emulators. Select one and play. Then an emulator is downloaded and can be started on your Win10- machine. There is no action necessary (except sometimes the input of the keychain- password) on the Mac, it can work completely in the background.<\/p>\n
If you want to play your app on your iPhone this is much more complicated and needs some more steps to do. In Android you simply connect your phone with a USB cable to your PC and after activating of the development options (German: Entwickleroptionen) in the list of emulators your phone should be offered. This is all what you need.<\/p>\n
If you think the same steps are sufficient for your iPhone, forget it. Connect first your iPhone using a Usb- cable with the Mac.\u00a0 You have now ask Apple for an allowance to load your software App on your mobile phone!<\/p>\n
