CRM Console Application on MacOS

I have Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 installed on a Mac running Mojave (10.14.4) and I am trying to create a simple C# Console Application to retrieve and update records in my CRM environment.

I am initializing a new instance of CrmServiceClient with the code below:

string connectionString = "authtype=Office365;username=*****************@**********.com;password=**********;url=https://**********.crm4.dynamics.com;";

CrmServiceClient conn = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);

On runtime, if I watch conn "isReady" property is “false” and there is an error message:

"Unable to Login to Dynamics CRM OrganizationWebProxyClient is null"

This means I cannot initialize IOrganizationService and do the operations.

Additional info:

  • I have already tried adding ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 with the same outcome
  • Latest XRMTooling nugget package is added to the project
  • Target framework is 4.6.2
  • The same code works in VS running on Windows

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

The Dynamics SDK is based on .NET Framework 4.6.2 supports only Windows clients, this is the reason it doesn't work on MacOS
