hello I use xamarin installed on a windows 11 pc and I would like to try my apps on my iphone (as I do with android phones connected to the usb port)
connected to the network I have a mac mini with ios 10.15.17
it can be done?
do i have to enable something on the iphone?
Thank you
iPhone apps can only be loaded via usb from a Mac. As they can only be built on a Mac, this is not typically an issue. To load iPhone apps via usb, you until Xcode which includes the side loading and debugging tools.
You can also use a Mac as 5he main development as it supports both iOS and android. Look at visual studio for Mac.
Note: your Mac o/s is probably too old. The latest tools and builds for the latest IOS will only run on Monterey
Apple is a little harsher with developers. The latest Xcode and iOS simulators only run Monterey. So to build for current iOS versions you need Monterey.
You need a late 2014 mini to run Monterey. Might be time to upgrade.
Your only other option is a cloud build and test flight deployment. This will work, but you will not be able to debug.
This might work for you: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/deploy-test/hot-restart
