How do I install Dotfuscator in Visual Studio for Mac?


I'm currently using MacOS for my C# development environment, and have been pretty satisfied with the packages available. However, since my codebase is proprietary, my coworkers recommended that I obfuscate the code using Dotfuscator. I've gone over the Microsoft documentation for direct installation to Visual Studio, but I think it may only apply to Windows. Does anyone know how to install Dotfuscator on Visual Studio for Mac?


Solution

  • Update: Dotfuscator now has Mac support; the MSBuild components can be installed via NuGet and referenced from VS for Mac via the same instructions as Windows.

    I work for PreEmptive Solutions, who make Dotfuscator. Dotfuscator is not currently able to be installed on a Mac. We do have alternative solutions for Xamarin builds (Android and/or iOS), and we are working on cross-platform solutions in general. We do plan to make Dotfuscator available for Mac users, but I don't have a date for that yet.

    What types of apps are you building? That will help us provide a more-detailed answer, and/or we can update this answer as the situation changes in the future.
