I need help in generating the .ipa file.
I tried to generate the .ipa file by following the next steps:
I switched from Debug to Release
in .csproj I checked "Build ipa" from IPA OPTIONS.
I cleaned/rebuild the solution
Right-click on the project and select deploy
I verified in the bin/Release folder for the .ipa file but it wasn't generated and I don't receive any errors.
Can somebody help?
Select Release and Generic Device and select Archive for publishing.
After the archive finishes select Sign and Distribute and select Ad Hoc. Then you will create a valid .ipa file.
hope that helps.
At this time, publishing is only supported through the .NET command line interface.
To publish your app, open a terminal and navigate to the folder for your .NET MAUI app project.
You could then use the following command as an example
dotnet publish -f:net7.0-ios -c:Release -r ios-arm64 /p:ArchiveOnBuild=true
The .ipa will be generated by default in bin/Release/net7.0-ios/ios-arm64/publish/ Folder.
For more info, you could refer to Publish a .NET MAUI app for iOS
Hope it works for you.

I built a small C# windows forms project on Windows 11 using net5. It runs fine in debug mode under Vstudio 2019 latest (v16.11.8). If it helps any, the "dotnet --list-sdks" commands report that both .NET v5.0.404 and v6.0.101 are installed."dotnet --list-runtimes" reports that runtimes NETCore.App 3.1.22, 5.0.13, and 6.0.1 are installed, along with WindowsDesktop.App versions 3.1.22, 5.0.13, and 6.0.1.
When I build the app I use the post-build event to copy files to a different folder where I double click the .exe file to run the forms app. But the double click always tells me that to run the app I need to install ".NET" (exactly, no other info). Would you like to download it now? I click Yes, the popup dialog disappears, and nothing happens.
I copied the .exe first to the destination folder, and when that failed I copied the json config file, the DLL, and the .pdb file too. But still, no happiness.
I must be missing something simple since the app runs fine under vstudio.
I compared the contents of the Debug/net5.0-windows folder with my destination folder. The Debug folder had 44 other DLLs and a dozen language packs. I suspect that my .exe app cannot find all those DLLs for some reason. It should find them because of all the SDKs and runtimes that are installed. But I don't know enough about how to tell the .exe file to find and use all the installed SDKs and runtimes.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I can get the exported file to run using the installed runtimes? Thank you.
You can publish it with a single executable option -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file#publish-a-single-file-app---visual-studio
You can do this via VS gui or with the .net cli like:
dotnet publish -r win-x64 -p:PublishSingleFile=true --self-contained false
IMO it's one of those cases where the error message is simply misleading.
Got this message even after having installed the latest .NET 5.0 runtime files.
And even after the suggested dotnet publish the application still wouldn't start on the target machine.
Turns out that, in addition to the .NET runtime files, there is also a "Windows Desktop Runtime". Only after installing the latter the app would start normally.
I have a project that I wish to publish. currently, I hardcode some reference files (.json,txt, and .ico) to be used in my project, which reside in a folder on my desktop for testing purposes. now that I feel I'm close to a version 1.0 release I want to migrate my resources to a applications folder upon install. basically want to create these files when the app is installed.
2 big questions I have is how to reference to the application folder that doesn't exist yet, and how do I publish the setup project.
I have the setup project installed for VS2019, and followed a quick and brief blog on how to use it. but I haven't found out how to publish that setup project. I can publish my project with my actual code in it, but I cannot publish the setup project.
below is a screenshot of the setup project. and i will add screenshot of my settings for the reference file.
Add the files into subfolder of your project and in the options part in Visual studio set that files will be copied to "debug"/"release" folder.
You will have an output folder with all what you needs and can be shippable.
I need to be able to generically and separately build and publish C# ASP.NET Web Applications. Ideally, I would like to use MSBuild to build the application, and if that succeeds, I would like to simply publish the site preferably solely with file copy.
Currently, I am able to build web application quite easily with MSBuild, but it is the publishing that is causing confusion. After the build, the binaries sit in the bin folder, but I am not sure what files to copy. What would be a good way to mimic the operations that VS's publish feature does, and still keeping everything generic?
You can invoke the Visual Studio web publish pipeline using the command line, check out this tutorial it shows you step by step how to do it:
Specifying the publish profile
You can specify the publish profile by name or by the full path to the .pubxml file, as shown in the following example:
msbuild C:\ContosoUniversity\ContosoUniversity.sln /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=C:\ContosoUniversity\ContosoUniversity\Properties\PublishProfiles\Test.pubxml
Web publish methods supported for command-line publishing
Three publish methods are supported for command line publishing:
MSDeploy - Publish by using Web Deploy.
Package - Publish by creating a Web Deploy Package. You have to install the package separately from the MSBuild command that creates it.
FileSystem - Publish by copying files to a specified folder.
http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/deployment/visual-studio-web-deployment/command-line-deployment
The latest projects can be built by:
dotnet build MyWebsite.sln
For more info please refer the microsoft docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-build
Note: Old ASP.NET projects are not supported. Please use MsBuild instead https://stackoverflow.com/a/24063993/1143349.
I've been creating winforms application for a while now, but i've never really published one to other people before.
Recently I started doing this but every time I publish my build, the user requires to de-install his current installation and install the new one.
Is there any way to remove this, so I'll only have to send a .exe file which they can use without any form of installing?
I've attempted to send the .exe file in the bin/debug/ but this only seems to work on computers where Visual Studio is installed.
Go to your solution and set the CopyLocal to true for all projects, this will ensure that the ..\Bin folder contains all the necessary assemblies for your program. Then just zip up the ..\Bin folder, get it onto the client machine, and then unzip it.
Hope this helps!
1) Change from Debug to Release in Solution Configurations
2) Right click on your project and click rebuild
3) Go to your bin=>Release=> app.publish for your exe version
4) Copy over any required .dll files,any .config files and any other resource/image files you need from bin=>Release to bin=>Release=> app.publish.
Your app.publish folder should now contain all the files required to run your form, and can be copied or zipped up and send to anyone who needs to use it !
You can try using ClickOnce as an installation method. It even has a built-in auto-update, so you can publish your application to a web server, and all existing installations will download latests version automatically.
To configure ClickOnce go to corresponding tab in your project settings.
I have developed a C# console application using VS2010. Now i would like to make it into a setup.exe. Is it possible to have this setup.exe as a standalone file to run my program? Meaning how can i achieve in obtaining setup.exe that when i click on that file it will run my console without even opening VS and without the need of my project folder on the workstation.
I have tried numerous time doing myself but failed up till now.
Some advice please.
Thanks,

You can publish it. Go to your solution explorer. Right click on it. publish the application. After finishing the publishing wizard, you can get the set up file in publish folder.
or
you can simply copy the exe file directly from the Bin folder and paste it wherever you want.
Hope this is helpful.
Follow the Steps
1) Firslty build the code
2) Then go to your projects folder
3) Open Debug/Bin
4) Inside Bin you can see the exe file. That file you can copy on any work station and run your console application.
Please do remember be confirm in which .NET version ur program is compiled. If suppose you compiled your program in .NET version 3.5 and running your program in .NET version 2 . It will not work
Thanks
