Does anyone here do C# work on a Mac outside of Unity? If so, what kind of project is it?

- pionar 11y agoMobile work with Xamarin here. Using Xamarin Studio. Still, it's nowhere close to the Windows experience with VS and the Xamarin tools there.
- teebot 11y agoI can definitely relate to your experience. I've been a C# developer on VS/Windows then moved to Xamarin/iOS dev on a Mac and it was ok but not terrific.
- SloopJon 11y agoI use Xamarin for Mac to write tests for a database client API, which I run with Mono for Linux using Jenkins. Not having used Visual Studio enough to compare thoroughly, Xamarin's not bad. I use Eclipse when writing a parallel set of tests for Java, and I generally prefer Xamarin to Eclipse. One minor complaint is that Xamarin quietly increased the system requirements from OS X 10.9 to 10.0, so I'm stuck with an old version. The idea of using a C# IDE written in Java seems a bit weird, but I might give it a shot. I'd also consider hooking up Emacs to OmniSharp.
- wsc981 11y agoI think at least some devs use Xamarin on Mac. I used it, but Xamarin Studio kinda sucks for me. Debugging tools seem pretty crappy compared to Xcode. Not sure if it's the tool or the language that's the problem.
