After a few years, I have managed to return to my roots of building developer tools.

@Martinsmora3 and I are super excited about @Ansight_ai and the productivity gains we have already experienced.

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

Does this sound familiar?

You find a bug in your mobile app, lose the exact repro, paste screenshots/logs into Codex/Claude, and wait while it guesses from source code.

Ansight fixes that with full-fidelity replay, runtime inspection, and app control.

[Ansight @Ansight_ai]

Ansight’s Beta is finally public now!

@matthewrdev and @Martinsmora3 built Ansight because Coding Agents are blind on the other side of the Compiler.

We solved that problem by turning Mobile and Desktop Apps into a structured tool surface for Agents.

@csharptitan Thanks Steven!

Stoked to announce that Microsoft has published a case study on Red-Point, our rock climbing companion app. 🎉

We have solved many tricky problems with .NET MAUI + Unity and it's super rewarding to be recognised by Microsoft and the .NET MAUI team.

@beeradmoore I thought it may be possible to combine them early last year; it took a few weeks of experimenting to confirm via proof of concept.

As far as I'm aware, we are one of the few doing it at scale; 17k+ active installs.

Constant integration tweaks but overall working very well!

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

@beeradmoore Unity supports it through their "Unity As A Library" feature; they export their apps as a library + app head combo which allows the library to be used as a standalone aar or xcframework.

@Bijington Good luck! 🤞

@jfversluis I believe I was on my way to meet @KirillOsenkov to learn about Visual Studio Windows extensions! What a wild ride it’s been.

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

With the imminent retirement of Visual Studio Mac, I have decided to retire and open source MFractor.

It’s been a hell of a journey and I’m so appreciative of everyone who bought MFractor the last 9 years; you let me put my heart into building incredible tools for XF and MAUI♥️

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

@BiloganSteve A pleasure Steve!

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

@davidortinau Thanks David, it was a good one!

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

@csharptitan Its been a pleasure Steven ☺️

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

@maddymontaquila Thanks for the kind words Maddy. It has been quite the journey but time for exciting new adventures with Red-Point :)

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

The entire source code for MFractor is now on GitHub, if you’d like to peek under the covers and see how it all the magic happened 😉

@DanJSiegel @MVPAward @UnoPlatform Congrats Dan!

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

@mattgoldman @SSW_TV @unity It was a pleasure to chat about Red-Point and our use of Unity @mattgoldman!

[Matthew Robbins @matthewrdev]

@JonathanPeppers A followup question on this @JonathanPeppers; is there a way to use these tools for iOS apps?
