Uno Platform announced today that it now supports macOS as a target platform. This new support means that developers can use a single code base to create apps on Windows, iOS, Android, the web, and macOS. According to Uno Platform, this makes it the first and only cross-platform solution to allow the same codebase to run on all these platforms.

Uno Platform allows developers to use C# and XAML code to create native apps on several platforms. Rather than running through Electron or emulation, apps that utilize Uno Platform can run natively on any supported platform. Uno Platform saw quite a bit of buzz last summer when it ported over the Windows 10 calculator over to Android.

"Developer productivity and code reuse is at the heart of Uno Platform mission," Uno Platform's CEO, Francois Tanguay, said in a press release. "We are delighted to add macOS to the list of supported platforms and make developers ever more productive. We will continue to push the limits of new technologies like WinUI and WebAssembly to enable even more scenarios in the near future."
Matching its trend of porting the Windows Calculator to more platforms, the team at Uno Platform also ported it over to macOS.

I spoke with Krsmanovic and Laban about the limitations of Uno Platform. They state that because it uses Xamarin underneath, there are no technical limitations in terms of what APIs can be used. There are some contracts for WinUI and WinRT that aren't implemented, but Uno Platform is expanding those going forward.

With more people at home, companies need apps to reach people on Windows and macOS. By adding support for macOS, developers can now target two desktop platforms, the web, and the two major mobile platforms with the same code base.

Announcing Uno Platform 2.4 – macOS support and Windows Calculator on macOS

Hello macOS!
Developer productivity and code reuse is at the heart of Uno Platform mission. Today we are adding macOS support preview and we are one step closer to achieving #WinUIEverywhere mission, enabling WinUI and your C# and XAML code to run on Windows, iOS, Android, Web, and now macOS.
Windows Calculator on macOS
Previously, as a proof of concept for the level of code reusability you can achieve across mobile and the web, we had ported the open source Windows Calculator to Android, iOS and the Web, and published it as the Uno Calculator. Today, as a showcase of macOS support published in the macOS App Store, we are extending that example to also include macOS.

Windows Calculator on Linux via Uno Platform
October 15, 2020
https://platform.uno/blog/windows-calculator-on-linux-via-uno-platform/

We’ve done it again. We’ve ported the open-source Windows Calculator to yet another platform: Linux!
If you’ve been following Uno Platform, you’ll know that we’ve already ported the open source Windows Calculator, parts of its codebase dating to the 1990s, to iOS, Android, macOS and Web/WebAssembly as a proof point of the multi-platform reach Uno Platform gives you as a C# and Windows developer.

Partnering with the Canonical team, we created and published it to the Ubuntu Snap Store so you can easily download and install it. Thanks a lot Ubuntu team for assisting us in this process, as well as blogging about Uno calculator at Ubuntu blogs.

For those new to Uno Platform – it allows for the creation of pixel-perfect, single-source C# and XAML apps which run natively on Windows, iOS, Android, macOS, Linux and Web via WebAssembly. Uno Platform is Open Source (Apache 2.0) and available on GitHub.
The calculator is available in preview for x64, with more architectures to come. It’s built using the latest .NET 5 RC1 and self-contained publishing for an easy installation.

Installing Uno Calculator. What is the Snap Store?
For easy distribution of Uno Calculator we decided to publish it to Ubuntu Snap Store. As most of our audience is Microsoft-developer centric, you may be wondering what the Ubuntu Snap store is.

The easiest way to explain it is a reference to other app stores – it is like Google Play, but for the Linux world. Snaps work across many Linux distributions so it makes it easy for you as a developer to bundle your dependencies and assets, simplifying installs to a single command.
