Tizen .NET

Tizen .NET is an advanced way to develop applications with .NET technology for Tizen OS.

Tizen .NET is :

• Support TizenFX
• Support .NET MAUI
• Support .NET 6

Getting Started

This is an early preview of Tizen in .NET 6 not for production use. Expect breaking changes as this is still in development for .NET 6.

Prerequisites

.NET MAUI Check Tool doesn't support Tizen environment yet, but hopes to be supported soon.

- Tizen SDK

• Tizen Extensions for Visual Studio Family or
• Tizen Studio

- .NET 6 Preview SDK

• Linux / Windows / macOS : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/6.0

Installing Tizen workload for .NET 6.0 (Preview)

You can install Tizen workload for .NET 6.0 by using the installer script.

• On Linux/MacOS:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Samsung/Tizen.NET/main/workload/scripts/workload-install.sh | sudo bash

if you want to install a specific version of Tizen.NET workload or install to a specific directory, use the following command:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Samsung/Tizen.NET/main/workload/scripts/workload-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin -v <version> -d <directory>

• On Windows:

Invoke-WebRequest 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Samsung/Tizen.NET/main/workload/scripts/workload-install.ps1' -Proxy $env:HTTP_PROXY -ProxyUseDefaultCredentials -OutFile 'workload-install.ps1';
./workload-install.ps1 [-v <version>] [-d <directory>]

For an instance:

PS D:\workspace> Invoke-WebRequest 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Samsung/Tizen.NET/main/workload/scripts/workload-install.ps1' -OutFile 'workload-install.ps1';

PS D:\workspace> .\workload-install.ps1
Installing Samsung.NET.Sdk.Tizen.Manifest-6.0.100/6.5.100-rc.1.114 to C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk-manifests\6.0.100...
Installing Samsung.Tizen.Sdk/6.5.100-rc.1.114...
Installing Samsung.Tizen.Ref/6.5.100-rc.1.114...
Installing Samsung.Tizen.Templates/6.5.100-rc.1.114...
Installing Samsung.NETCore.App.Runtime.tizen/6.5.100-rc.1.114... 

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

PS D:\workspace> dotnet workload list

This command lists only workloads that were installed via `dotnet workload install` in this version of the SDK and not those that were installed via Visual Studio.

Installed Workload Ids
----------------------
maui
tizen

Use `dotnet workload search` to find additional workloads to install.

Updates are avaliable for the following workload(s): maui tizen. Run `dotnet workload update` to get the latest  

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

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.
