Trying iOS 11 with Xamarin
The triathlon season is over. I completed all three, planned races for this year:
- Ironman 70.3 Coeur d'Alene
- SeaFair Sprint Triathlon (new PR!)
- Lake Meridian Olympic Triathlon (new PR!)
I also finished RAMROD (epic Ride Around Mt Rainier in One Day) and Course d'Equipe. The last bike ride for this season is Gran Fondo Whistler in two weeks.
In the meantime...
The Winter is coming!
Apple is cooking for us iOS 11, and I decided to give it a shot! It actually works nice.
- Install latest Xcode beta from here
- Install latest Xamarin.iOS (all links are here, hint: version is 10.99, not 11 yet)
- Set VS for Mac to Xcode-beta (Preferences -> Projects -> SDK Locations -> Apple -> Location)
If you did everything correct you should be able to see new iOS11 simulator:
I encountered one issue: when deploying to device I got following errors:
Error: unable to find utility "lipo", not a developer tool or in PATH
Error: Failed to create the a fat library
Solution was to run the following command:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/

Summary
So far everything works pretty well. Occasionally when I run VS for Mac it doesn't detect simulators, but after restart they are back!
Have you tried iOS 11 yet?
