TestConnectedApp

this is how to get the new Connected App template up and running in Visual Studio for Mac Preview 1

How to run this solution in the iOS simulator, from scratch:

Install .NET Core 1.1

follow ALL the steps [here] (https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos)

Install .NET Core 1.0 also (that's what the template uses)

[under LTS & SDK] (https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core)

Pick the "Multiple" run configuration (instead of TestConnnectedApp.iOS for example) and Run!

What I did to make this solution:

Create new solution from the Connected App template in VS for Mac

New Project > Multiplatform > App > Connected App

Create a new Solution Run Configuration

VS for Mac now supports [Multi-Process Debugging] (https://developer.xamarin.com/releases/vs-mac/preview/vs-mac-preview1/#Multi-Process_Debugging) so you can run the Rest API backend project AND the iOS/Android client at the same time!
Solution > Options > Run > Configurations > New
Name it "Multiple" and check the boxes next to the mobile head project + MobileAppService project

Is there really a service running locally?

yep. pop this into terminal, and you'll get a json response

curl http://localhost:5000/api/item
