Getting Started with CLI

1. Check the Tizen templates before creating a new Tizen Project

You can see the Tizen template as follows if it is properly installed.

dotnet new --list
Template Name                                 Short Name      Language    Tags

Class Library                                 classlib        [C#],F#,VB  Common/Library        
Worker Service                                worker          [C#],F#     Common/Worker/Web     
MSTest Test Project                           mstest          [C#],F#,VB  Test/MSTest

NUnit 3 Test Project                          nunit           [C#],F#,VB  Test/NUnit            
xUnit Test Project                            xunit           [C#],F#,VB  Test/xUnit            
*Tizen .NET Application**                    *tizen*          *[C#]*      *Tizen*
Razor Component                               razorcomponent  [C#]        Web/ASP.NET           
Razor Page                                    page            [C#]        Web/ASP.NET

2. Creates a New Project

dotnet new tizen -n HelloTizenNet6

When the project is successfully created, the following files are created.

└── HelloTizenNet6
    ├── HelloTizenNet6.csproj
    ├── Main.cs
    ├── shared
    └── tizen-manifest.xml

This is a Tizen .NET app, not a .NET MAUI app.

3. Build the application

dotnet build 

When the project builds successfully, tizen app package (.tpk) is created as follows.

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 16.10.0-preview-21181-07+073022eb4 for .NET
