Instructions for Building the toolkit

1. Confirm that your system meets the requirements for compiling the Toolkit:

   • Visual Studio 2019 Update 4 (or later) with the following workloads:
     • Universal Windows Platform development (UWP)
     • .NET desktop development (WPF)
     • Mobile development with .NET (MAUI)
     • .NET Core cross-platform development

2. Confirm your system meets the requirements for developing with ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET. System Requirements

3. Fork and then clone the repo or download the .zip file.

4. Include (i) or reference (ii) the Toolkit in your projects:

   Note the Toolkit references ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET by Nuget package. The package is automatically downloaded when you build the solution for the first time.

   1. Include the appropriate platform Projects in your Solution.
      • WPF (src\Toolkit\Toolkit.WPF\Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Toolkit.WPF.csproj)
      • UWP (\src\Toolkit\Toolkit.UWP\Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Toolkit.UWP.csproj)
      • WinUI (\src\Toolkit\Toolkit.WinUI\Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Toolkit.WinUI.csproj)
      • MAUI (\src\Toolkit\Toolkit.MAUI\Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Toolkit.MAUI.csproj)
   2. Build the Toolkit and reference the NuGet package you built.
      • Building each Toolkit project automatically creates the NuGet package for each platform in the project Output folder.
      • Create a local nuget source/feed and set it to the \Output\NuGet\Release folder.
      • Add the nuget package using the standard Nuget package manager dialog in Visual Studio.
      • See Setting Up Local NuGet Feeds for more information.
