Time to Go!

1. Check the Tizen templates before creating a new Tizen Project

You can see the Tizen template as follows if it is properly installed.

dotnet new --list
Template Name                                 Short Name      Language    Tags                  
--------------------------------------------  --------------  ----------  ----------------------
Console Application                           console         [C#],F#,VB  Common/Console        
Class Library                                 classlib        [C#],F#,VB  Common/Library        
Worker Service                                worker          [C#],F#     Common/Worker/Web     
MSTest Test Project                           mstest          [C#],F#,VB  Test/MSTest

NUnit 3 Test Project                          nunit           [C#],F#,VB  Test/NUnit

*Tizen .NET Application**                    *tizen*          *[C#]*      *Tizen*
Razor Component                               razorcomponent  [C#]        Web/ASP.NET           
Razor Page                                    page            [C#]        Web/ASP.NET

2. Creates a New Project

dotnet new tizen -n HelloTizenNet6

When the project is successfully created, the following files are created.

└── HelloTizenNet6
    ├── HelloTizenNet6.csproj
    ├── Main.cs
    ├── shared
    └── tizen-manifest.xml

This is a Tizen .NET app, not a .NET MAUI app. A .NET MAUI app that supports Tizen is currently under development and will be released as soon as possible.

3. Build the application

dotnet build

When the project builds successfully, tizen app package (.tpk) is created as follows.

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 16.10.0-preview-21181-07+073022eb4 for .NET

4. Run the application

Unfortunately dotnet run is not yet integrated. So for now you need to use sdb to install the app.

sdb install bin/Debug/net6.0-tizen/com.companyname.HelloTizenNet6-1.0.0.tpk

Tizen emulators and devices that support .NET6 have not yet been officially released, and we will announce a binary for testing soon.
