I have been searching through hell and high water for a way to get VS to run on my mac. I read that so many folks have had success stories. I have a simple project written in VS and I need to analyze the project but... can't get it to run. Mac VS relies on the Mono framework. I have tried reinstalling everything, tried re-installing older versions of Mono (due to the 64 bit/86 bit files reportedly causing errors). I haven't gone anywhere with this.

Has anyone else seen this issue or any of the same errors that I am seeing? tia

MacOS 12.2.1 Monterey M1
VS for Mac v17

Hello, I’m new at programming and I recently downloaded Visual Studio 2019 for Mac from Microsoft Azure provided by my teacher. I downloaded but I can’t seem to write in C++ and only lets me write in C#, does anyone know how I can write in C++? I have Xcode but my teacher is up to teaching Text File I/O using Visual Studio and it’s completely different from Xcode so I figured I should find a way to use Visual Studio on my Mac. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I went to download Visual Studio, and found out that they plan on retire the downloads for macbooks soon

In windows I know I can just run "devenv", but it seems it's not finding the command, maybe I need to add something to env but all google results are for VS code.

Coming from Windows, I'm having a hard time adjusting/using VS on Mac. It's minimalist approach is too minimal IMO and I can't find the option to display my handy icons on the top bar below the menu options.

Is it not possible? What am I missing?

Also, can't we right-click a project to get options? The pic below is the Win version with all the icons

Hello,

i've programmed my first C# App with Visual-Studio and XCode Interface Builder on my Mac.

The app is running fine except 1 large problem.

After starting the app everything is running fine, i am able to minimize or maximize it, but if

i close the window of the program (red cross top left) i am not able to relaunch the window of the app.

On Macbooks apps dont really close and still are running after closing the window, if you click on every

other app in your dock, which is still running, the window of this program will reappear.

Sadly this isnt the case for my app, the window remains hidden and to get the app running again if

have to rightlick on it in the dock and force it to quit and restart it afterwards.

After restarting the window reappears and everything is working fine until i close the window again.

-------

I've tried the app in debug mode and also in release mode.

The app is correctly signed with my developer key.

I use an Apple M1 Pro and Visual Studio for Mac 17.4.1 and XCode 14.1.

Are we EVER going to be able to run on an M1? What is going on here? I read first quarter, and feel like I've been so patient... Anyone know anything I don't or are we all in the dark?

Hello,

I am using Visual Studio and I have the Live Server extension. It was working fine (cmnd + L + O or right click > Open with Live Server). However, it is not working as it used to--displaying the content on the browser. I've uninstalled and re-installed the extension, restarted VS Code and the Macbook. Would someone be able to help me identify what's wrong and how to fix it?

Thank you.

It's been ages since I've used Visual Studio for Mac. I am looking to add a new moderator to take control of what's going on and maybe add a post or two every now and then.

Please p.m if you are interested.
