Xamarin.Launcher
Universal version latest seen at v1.0 · Reported by 2 Macs in the community.
Xamarin.Launcher is the command-line launcher utility for Xamarin mobile development, a Microsoft-owned framework that allows developers to build native iOS and Android applications using C# and the .NET runtime. It serves as a foundational tool for managing app builds, deployments and launches on Xamarin projects. While Xamarin itself has been superseded by .NET MAUI (the official evolution as of May 2024), the Xamarin.Launcher component may still be required by developers maintaining existing Xamarin codebases or transitioning to newer .NET mobile development frameworks.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Xamarin.Launcher has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version from Microsoft's Xamarin distribution channel to get the native build. This will deliver better performance and battery efficiency on M-series Macs. If you are starting a new mobile project, note that Xamarin reached end of support as of May 1, 2024—Microsoft recommends migrating to .NET MAUI, which has native Apple Silicon support built in.
