Xamarin iOS Migration is an agent skill from davidortinau/maui-skills. WORKFLOW SKILL - Guide for migrating Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Mac, and Xamarin.tvOS native apps to .NET for iOS, .NET for macOS, and .NET for tvOS. Covers SDK-style project conversion, target framework monikers, MSBuild property changes, Info.plist updates, iOS binding library migration, Xamarin.Essentials in native apps, NuGet dependency compatibility, and code signing changes. USE FOR: "migrate Xamarin.iOS", "upgrade Xamarin.iOS to .NET", "Xamarin.iOS to .NET for iOS", "iOS project migration", "Xamarin.Mac…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ios-migration-api.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps, App store release and Android development. It works with iOS, .NET, Android and macOS. The repository describes itself as: .NET MAUI skills for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79bb4bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Xamarin iOS Migration loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 218 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Unlike Android, there is no backward compatibility with old Xamarin iOS/Mac TFMs. Packages targeting monotouch, xamarinios, xamarinios10, monomac, or xamarinmac will not work — they must be recompiled for net8.0-ios etc.

.dll.config or .exe.config Support.dll.config and <dllmap> are not supported in .NET Core. Migrate configuration to appsettings.json, embedded resources, or platform preferences.
Xamarin.watchOS has no .NET equivalent. Bundle Swift extensions with .NET for iOS apps instead.
OpenTK is unavailable in .NET for iOS. Migrate to Metal or SceneKit.
Update LinkDescription XML files if custom linker configuration was used. The linker in .NET is stricter and may trim symbols that the Xamarin linker preserved.
| Pitfall | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| iOS/Mac NuGet packages not backward-compatible | Build failures for packages targeting xamarinios | Recompile or find .NET-compatible alternatives |
CodeSigningKey silently ignored | App fails to sign but no clear error | Rename to CodesignKey |
MtouchArch not converted | Wrong architecture targeted | Convert to RuntimeIdentifier(s) — see reference tables |
MinimumOSVersion left in Info.plist | Ignored — uses csproj value | Move to SupportedOSPlatformVersion |
| Entitlements path wrong | Build succeeds but runtime failures | Verify CodesignEntitlements points to correct file |
.dll.config files present | Silently ignored at runtime | Remove and migrate to alternatives |
net8.0-ios TFM| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| You own the package | Recompile with .NET TFMs |
| Package has preview .NET version | Use preview |
| No compatible version | Replace with .NET-compatible alternative |
| .NET Standard library (no platform deps) | ✅ Still works |
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Namespace not found | Most UIKit namespaces are unchanged — verify against .NET for iOS API surface |
| Linker errors | Update LinkDescription XML files — linker is stricter in .NET |
| Code signing failure | Verify CodesignKey, CodesignProvision, CodesignEntitlements |
| Entitlements mismatch | Ensure entitlements file matches provisioning profile |
If your migrated app will also adopt .NET MAUI controls (e.g., via UseMaui), check the maui-current-apis skill for deprecated MAUI APIs to avoid (ListView, Frame, Device.*, etc.).

WORKFLOW SKILL - Guide for migrating Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Mac, and Xamarin.tvOS native apps to .NET for iOS, .NET for macOS, and .NET for tvOS. Xamarin iOS Migration is an agent skill from davidortinau/maui-skills.NET for tvOS.
Xamarin iOS Migration fits situations like: : migrate Xamarin.iOS; upgrade Xamarin.iOS to .NET; xamarin.iOS to .NET for iOS; IOS project migration.
Run `npx skills add davidortinau/maui-skills --skill xamarin-ios-migration -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/maui-skills/skills/xamarin-ios-migration in davidortinau/maui-skills) into .claude/skills/xamarin-ios-migration in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davidortinau/maui-skills --skill xamarin-ios-migration -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/maui-skills/skills/xamarin-ios-migration in davidortinau/maui-skills) into .agents/skills/xamarin-ios-migration in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davidortinau/maui-skills --skill xamarin-ios-migration -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/xamarin-ios-migration, .gemini/skills/xamarin-ios-migration, .github/skills/xamarin-ios-migration and .opencode/skills/xamarin-ios-migration in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Xamarin iOS Migration is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Xamarin iOS Migration is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.5k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Xamarin iOS Migration: Standalone (hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins, 1.3k stars), Ksafe (ioannisa/KSafe, 338 stars), Maui AI Debugging (Redth/Maui.Gtk, 101 stars) and uni-app Native App Packaging (feige996/unibest, 2.3k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
