This version of Xamarin.Mac corresponds to our xcode9.3 (xcode9.3) milestone. This is presently based on our stable d15-5 milestone, i.e. Xamarin.Mac 4.0.x.

Requirements

  • Apple Xcode 9.3 requires a Mac running macOS 10.13.2 (High Sierra) or newer;

What's New in this Release

There were very few changes in the SDK. Beta 2 introduced BusinessChat for macOS (and iOS) and this will be included in a future preview.

Known Issues

Using an older Xcode version

Using an older Xcode version (than the one mentioned in the above requirements) is often possible, but some features may not be available. Also, some limitations might require workarounds, e.g.:

  • The static registrar requires Xcode headers files to build applications, leading to MM0091 or MM4109 errors if API are missing. In most cases enabling the managed linker will help (by removing the API).
