† Notes:
-
Wasm: debugging from the IDE is not available yet on Rider. But you can use the Chromium in-browser debugger instead.
To start the app from the IDE (using the "Run" button), dotnet core 3.1 must be installed on the machine:
# dotnet 3.1 sdk is required to launch Wasm app from Rider # For Ubuntu, use apt install like that: sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-3.1
For Mac, you should install it from here.
-
Skia-GTK on Mac: you need to make sure to install
gtk+3
package using the following command line:brew install gtk+3
-
iOS on Windows: An attached Mac is needed, the iOS simulator will open on the Mac.
-
Android on Linux: Xamarin.Android does not natively support linux development. Rider has been capable of Android development on Linux in the past, but previous directions are considered obsolete. As of this comment (3 Nov 2021) Xamarin Android builds on linux fail.
At this time, there isn't a template for the Rider IDE like there is for Visual Studio, so you can create a new project using dotnet new by following these steps:
-
In your terminal, navigate to the folder that contains your Rider solutions.
-
Run these commands:
Installs Uno template:
dotnet new -i Uno.ProjectTemplates.Dotnet
Creates a new project:
dotnet new unoapp -o MyApp
You should now have a folder structure that looks like this:
Note: Whether you're using a physical device or the emulator, the app will install but will not automatically open. You will have to manually open.
- Select Wasm as your startup project. Run.
A new browser window will automatically run your application.
Note: There is no debugging for Wasm within Rider, but you debug using the built in Chrome tools.
You will be able to build the MacOS project.
Alternatively, you can use a tool like VNC to run the simulator on a mac.
You will be able to build the UWP project, however, Rider currently does not support debugging or deploying for UWP.
If you're not sure whether your environment is correctly configured for Uno Platform development, running the uno-check
command-line tool should be your first step.
