Rider and Uno I seem to be missing something ....

[stephenhauck]

So I did all the setup and updated to the latest Rider IDE today on Mac ..
I created a new project and I have no "run / debug" configurations and such ...
Are the "wizards" they show in the videos in Rider or only in Visual Studio ?

Hi, @stephenhauck !
Please, check the following discussion: #13335 (comment)
And read this docs:
https://platform.uno/docs/articles/get-started-rider.html?tabs=windows%2Cubuntu1804
https://platform.uno/docs/articles/create-an-app-rider.html?tabs=android

@limeniye thanks for that but the screenshots don't look like the current solution structure in Rider
Also there was no "wizard when creating a new Uno app ...

I see, thanks. We do not recommend using the Rider new solution app. Try using the command line instead.

Thanks for your help but honestly with Visual Studio on Mac being deprecated and Uno not seeming to truly be supported by Rider I think I will simply pass on Uno all together and simply stick with buggy MAUI and Flutter .....

I was hoping Uno could replace both MAUI and Flutter ..

Will check it out in another year maybe ...

Uno's templates are rich, and the missing features from rider prevent us from building something that makes sense. You can upvote this, that would help. Still, as rider runs dotnet new without parameters, it should still be working as the docs says and it may be a recent rider regression.

That being said, if you're willing to give a try to running a simple command line to get past this Rider limitation, you may be able to get further along and actually try what Uno has to offer.

[stephenhauck]

Again .. thanks .. Uno looks excellent but I deal with enough "fragmented toolchains" with Flutter every day ...
I just don't have the time to fool with it ... upvoting won't help because if everyone upvoted it still has to be scheduled and the work done ...

Thanks

As a follow-up those are the Rider issues that we're tracking: #15226, including the one that contains the missing projects that you've noticed.

Good news for you.
The Uno Platform team is preparing a new release with a Live Wizard option.
Let's read it there:

Interesting .. now I need to figure out how to setup Uno with Codemagic for my CI / CD

[stephenhauck]

So I found the live wizaed and used it in VS Code on my mac ...

Then opened it with Rider ... seems to work well so far
