Create a cross platform solution

Make sure you use latest .NET 7 SDK. iOS especially requires developers to use 7.0.102 SDK or newer.

Install the Avalonia dotnet templates.

dotnet new install avalonia.templates

Once the templates are installed you can generate a new project.

Create a folder name that matches the name of your project. Then enter that folder.

mkdir HelloWorld
cd HelloWorld

Now create a cross platform solution using the templates.

dotnet new avalonia.xplat

This will create a project with the following structure:

HelloWorld (Avalonia UI project with Views and ViewModels)
HelloWorld.Android (Avalonia bootstrap code for Android)
HelloWorld.Desktop (Avalonia bootstrap code for Desktop - Windows, macOS and Linux)
HelloWorld.iOS (Avalonia bootstrap code for iOS)
HelloWorld.Browser (Avalonia bootstrap code for running in Browsers using WASM)
Directory.Build.props (sets the Avalonia version your application will target)
HelloWorld.sln (the solution file if you use an IDE)
