Bug

A nice app indeed, but due to the limited display space, it's only useful on the iPad. However, there's one problem: if you click the "I" button to save in the file manager, the program crashes, making the app unusable. You can copy the code and send it via email, but then you'll end up with a bunch of character formatting errors. Please fix this bug, please... :) iPadOS 18.6.2

Very Useful IDE

Working on the phone with any IDE can be difficult but this app does very well and it is at this writing close to the current C# version so it isn’t vaporware. Lagging one or two versions in my view is acceptable.

C# version

Description confirms v11 support, however, when I try to use v10 features, IDE says C# is only v9, and those features are not available. Otherwise it is a great tool for education.

No custom delegates means useless.

I guess you have to waste your money to find out you can’t have custom delegates. Maybe I am missing something but the code from Visual Studio doesn’t work unless you use EventHandler.

Useless. Money wasted.

Update for iPadOS 17

Very good app, but needs an update to run with newest iOS/iPadOS version. iOS 17 seems to completely remove the NewsstandKit framework. This is problematic for apps that happen to link with the NewsstandKit framework (they crash at launch).

Update:
Thank you for this update, now it works with iPadOS 17. Plus an upgrade to C# 11. This is my favorite coding app on my iPad.
