Can I create a console application using Xamarin.Mac?

Question

I just purchased Xamarin.Mac in an effort to create a cross platform console utility. I figured this would be trivial but I am missing something.

How can I create and what do I need to do to deploy a simple Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); app using Xamarin.Mac?

here is the result I am looking for from the console in any folder on my mac.

$ my_xammac_app
Hello World
$

Answer 1

Use File - C# - Console Project to create console c# application

Answer 2

Create a new Mac project and simply use the assemblies you need.

You can delete the UI files that a new project contains (such as the .xibs and the files that go along with that). You don't have to use them.
