Error building .NET MAUI apps in Visual Studio for Mac Preview


I've downloaded the latest version of Visual Studio for Mac Preview and attempting to create a .NET MAUI app. I'm not able to build and run the solution as "The solution requires .NET SDK Workloads that are not currently installed."

If I click on Install, this shows but it doesn't appear to do anything.

If I go into the terminal and enter dotnet workload list that outputs no workloads installed. If I run sudo dotnet workload install that outputs zsh: segmentation fault sudo dotnet workload install.

What do I need to do in order to be able to run MAUI apps on my Mac as I was looking forward to developing them.


Solution

  • I managed to resolve my issue by doing the following:

    I made a global.json with the following contents:

    { "sdk": { "version": "6.0.400", "rollForward": "latestFeature" } }
    

    I installed the legacy Xamarin iOS SDK option in the Visual Studio for Mac installer.
