# re: Using Cordova and Visual Studio to build iOS Mobile Apps Hello! Well, this tutorial seems nice, but unfortunatly, I have a 404 every time I try to connect the remote agent on the mac. I have a project that was originally built on Visual Studio on PC. Now that we have VS for Mac we have more developers wanting to contribute, but we need to import the.vssettings file which contains our text formatting standards. According to Myerson, Microsoft has secretly developed an Objective C compiler for Visual Studio—my sources say its codenamed Project Islandwood, but Myerson wouldn’t corroborate that—and an.

I attended a Microsoft presentation recently where the speaker said that it would be possible to compile an iOS project for Windows Phone with the upcoming Visual Studio 2015. Great!

So I got the new Visual Studio 2015 RC and installed everything - not to miss anything.

On a Mac an XCode project is a .xcodeproj file but it is actually a folder structure - and that's how Windows sees it. Inside this folder structure there's a file called project.pbxproj but it is not recognized by Visual Studio when I try to open an existing project.

So the question is, how do I open an XCode project in Visual Studio 2015?

To open an Xcode project in Visual Studio is required to use the tool vsimporter.

This tool is present in open source bridge Project from Microsoft GitHub (https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC).

***Check the Readme file before to start

Using vsimporter

The vsimporter tool enables you to import your Xcode project into a new Visual Studio Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app project with Objective-C support.

To use the tool:

1. Download the prebuilt SDK from here and extract the files to a directory (for example c:winobjc)
2. From a command prompt, navigate to the directory containing your Xcode project, for example c:winobjcsamplesWOCCatalog
3. At the command prompt, run vsimporter.exec:winobjcsamplesWOCCatalog> ....binvsimporter.exe
4. A Visual Studio solution file is created in your current directory, double click this file to open your project in Visual Studio
5. Press Ctrl-F5 to build your app and run it on your PC.

You can also pass the -i option at the command line to run the vsimporter tool in interactive mode. Interactive mode lets you see and select the specific configurations of the Xcode project that you wish to import. By default vsimporter creates a Visual Studio solution that targets Windows 10. If you'd like to target Windows 8.1 (Phone or Store), use the -format option and specify one of winstore8.1, winphone8.1, or winstore10 (winstore10 is the default).

For help running vsimporter, use the -help option at the command line to see the full set of supported options.

Depending on the circumstance you may need to import a Microsoft Code Signing Certificate into an alternate system/systems to perform signing of an office macro or a Visual Studio Application. Visual Studio refers to the same certificate stores as Internet Explorer (IE). So if you need to move a code signing certificate from one system to another Internet explorer will be used for the import of the certificate.

Certificate Authorities (CA’s) usually use either Firefox or Internet Explorer to generate Code Signing certificates during enrollment and pickup of the certificate. To being the process on moving your certificate from one system to another refer to the how to export instructions below. If Firefox was used for code signing certificate creation and pickup it will then need to be Export from Firefox then Imported into IE so Visual Studio can use it.

We will assume now that you already have a certificate PKCS#12 (.pfx/.p12) file ready for import.

To Import your Code Signing Certificate Into IE/Visual Studio perform the following:

Step 1: Accessing the Windows IE Certificate store.

1. In your Internet Explorer browser click on the gear in the upper right of the browser.
2. Click Internet Options.
3. Click the tab Content.
4. Click Certificates.
   
5. Click the tab Personal.
6. Click Import…
   

Step 2: The Certificate Import Wizard.

1. In the Certificate Import Wizard click Next.
   
2. Click Browse.
   
3. In the windows explorer window browse to the location and path of your pfx/.p12 code signing certificate file. You will have to change the file type to search for in the drop down menu to Personal Information Exchange (*.pfx, *.p12)
   
4. Once you navigated to the location/path and clicked your code signing certificate click Open.
   
5. Click Next.
   
6. Click Next.
   
7. Click Finish.
8. Click Ok.
   

Grats! you have just imported your Code Signing Certificate into your system to be recognized by Visual Studio.

Import Project Into Visual Studio

You can double check this by performing the following…

1. With the project node selected in Solution Explorer, from the Project menu, click Properties (or right-click the project node in Solution Explorer, and click Properties).
2. In the Project Designer, click the Signing tab.
3. You should see your Code Signing CA issued certificate as a option.
