Workbook Mac App (Mobile Profile)
Workbook Mac App is a development tool from Xamarin (now part of Microsoft) that provides interactive code exploration and experimentation for .NET developers on macOS. It allows developers to write and execute C# and F# code snippets in real-time, exploring APIs, prototyping functionality, and testing code ideas without needing to compile full projects. The app integrates with the Xamarin ecosystem and serves educators, hobbyists, and professionals learning or experimenting with .NET-based development.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about whether Workbook Mac App has a native Apple Silicon build. Given that this is a Xamarin/Microsoft developer tool and the bundle ID suggests a legacy mobile profile variant, it is possible the project has been retired, consolidated, or superseded by other Microsoft developer offerings. We recommend contacting Microsoft directly or visiting their official Xamarin documentation to determine the current status and whether a native Apple Silicon version exists. If this app is no longer actively maintained, you will need to find an alternative before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), as an Intel-only build will stop working entirely on that release. Consider exploring modern .NET interactive tools such as the .NET Interactive Notebooks in Visual Studio Code or Polyglot Notebooks, which offer similar interactive code exploration on Apple Silicon-native platforms.
