Download Visual Studio Code for macOS. Double-click on the downloaded archive to expand the contents. Drag Visual Studio Code.app to the Applications folder, making it available in the Launchpad. (If you want an editor that does run natively, Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio Code might fit the bill). There are multiple options for running Windows on a Mac. Every Mac comes with Appleās Boot Camp software, which helps you install Windows into a separate partition.
From some guesswork I found it by using this URL: Not installed it tho. From this, comment on the 9th May seems like you have to open a support ticket?!?! As an update on this topic, all of the recent previous Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.Mac packages are available in the archives on the (under the Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.MaciOS tabs). And the Mono Framework MDK is similarly available in the. I have now updated the to provide the links to those locations. In many cases, the latest version of Visual Studio for Mac will be backwards compatible with previous versions of the Xamarin SDKs, so you can in many cases just install those earlier Xamarin SDK versions over the current versions and leave Visual Studio for Mac and Mono Framework MDK at the latest.
If you do need to get an older version of Visual Studio for Mac itself, the best option at this time is still to create a support incident to request the version you'd like. The updated info for creating a Visual Studio for Mac support incident is to go to Technical Support Product: Visual Studio Assisted Support on and then select Visual Studio Community/Professional/Enterprise 2017 for Mac.
I used to download previous releases from my Xamarin account page which now doesn't seem to exist anymore. At the moment, the direct link to the old downloads page is not yet set to redirect, so it is still possible to access that page, but indeed that page is considered deprecated in favor of the open source continuous builds archive at this time, and the previous versions provided on that page are from the earlier Xamarin 15.5 Release rather than the Xamarin 15.6 Release. Bunch of other versions in case someone needs them: Note: These are from the index.xml files that VS4M downloads that includes all the matching packages for each release.

It's been a long time since I was a programmer. I'm taking an intro to c and everyone else in the class is on Windows. I'm on a Mac. I've been using an editor and the command line (in Terminal) g compiler.
It's been working fine. However, the professor wants me to use Visual Studio. I downloaded it and installed it on my Mac. So far so good.
When I try to create a c project/program it only gives me the option of creating c# programs, at least it doesn't give a c option. So, how can I write and run c programs on Visual Studio on a Mac? Hi OrchestraMusic, Welcome to the MSDN forum. Now we have two Visual Studio versions (Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code) that can directly install on the Mac (macOS), refer to your description, it looks like you installed the Visual Studio for Mac, it is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin and.NET.
There has no option to create C project in this version and some other community members reported this suggestion to the Visual Studio Product Team, please check this: and you can vote it, then waiting for the feedback from the Visual Studio Product Team. So, how can I write and run c programs on Visual Studio on a Mac? As far as I know, there have two options as below:. Install and C/C build tools, please have a look at blog:. Create a VM that OS is windows, then install the and choose the option C to install during the VS installation If you just want a lightweight tool to edit your C files, VS Code has you covered but if you want the best possible experience for your existing Visual C projects or debugging on Windows, we recommend you use a version of Visual Studio such as.

This can be beneficial to other community members reading this thread. If you have any compliments or complaints to MSDN Support, feel free to contact. The official answer is completely unsatisfactory, but is entirely correct. Visual Studio for Mac (VSM) doesn't support building C projects out of the box. Fortunately there are other options. VSM still supports building using external tools, and since you (most likely) already have a C compiler on your machine, you can just compile using any external build tool.
VSM will work somewhat OK as an editor for C projects, but will not be suitable as a proper IDE. Jetbrains have better tools anyway, so you might want to have a look at those; Rider for C# and CLion for C are both excellent tools.
