I have a GUI which I created using WPF I not want to port this so it's available for use on mac OS X. I heard mono can be used but it looks like they don't have any support for WPF's as of right now so any suggestions would be great Thanks.

You can try to have a look at `Xamarin` actually – Pavel Anikhouski Jan 10 '20 at 12:09

@Ugur I don't think I managed to get my question through. I want to convert the WPF code to maybe swift or something so I can run it and get the same GUI on my mac OS. – Death Guard Jan 10 '20 at 12:17

As I know Xamarin is applicable only to mobile. Unfortunately doesn't support desktop OS'es. – Lukasz Szczygielek Jan 10 '20 at 12:26

.NET Core 3.0 has WPF but it works only for Windows platform, so there is no build-in support for multi-platform desktop GUI.
You could try port WPF application using Avalonia, but I never tried it. Avalonia works with .NET Core 2.0, .NET Standard 2.0.

1@Andy it is rather beta than alpha. They state: "Avalonia is ready for General-Purpose Desktop App Development. However, there may be some bugs and breaking changes as we continue along into this project's development." https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/wiki/Projects-that-are-using-Avalonia and https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/2239 – Lukasz Szczygielek Jan 10 '20 at 12:44

I stand corrected. Keen as I am on wpf and xaml I'm not so sure about adopting a beta open source project for a business app. – Andy Jan 10 '20 at 13:09
