Continue support for Xamarin.UITest and add .NET 8 support #2635

Closed JohnHDev closed 5 months ago

JohnHDev commented 6 months ago

Describe the solution you'd like Needs .NET 8 support

Describe alternatives you've considered Open source Xamarin.UITest so that the community can fix the issues

Additional context Support for Xamarin.UITest has always been quite ropey, often waiting for months for fixes to come through. Please, either prioritise this or open source it. Many of us pay for Visual Studio, Azure DevOps (we have 20 concurrent build servers), and that is just in my team. We have other development teams that use similar tech stacks within my organisation as well.

Hi @JohnHDev, Thank you for reporting this. Have you tried Xamarin.UITest 4.3.5 with fix for Simulators runtime that was blocking users from running tests on .NET 8 target framework? Do you face any other issues with running .NET 8?

Thanks @IlyaBausovAkvelon I have updated but now getting the following error: Message "One or more errors occurred. (Failed to launch simulator: An error occurred trying to start process 'idb:' with working directory '/Users/xxxxxx/bin/Debug/net8.0'. No such file or directory)"

Has there been any discussions on open sourcing Xamarin.UITest?

Thanks John

@IlyaBausovAkvelon Installed idb and have tests running locally, I have also updated ADO pipelines to install idb via CLI and now have UI tests running there as well.
