Visual Studio will allow Mac-centric developers to build, deploy and debug in Azure, which Microsoft hopes will encourage more cross-platform development. “Developers get a great IDE and a single environment to not only work on end-to-end solutions – from mobile and web apps to games – but also to integrate with and deploy to Azure.” “Visual Studio for Mac brings the integrated development environment (IDE) loved by millions to the Mac,” said Scott Guthrie, Microsoft’s Executive Vice President of Cloud and Enterprise. It also leans heavily into Azure, on which Microsoft is hanging its hat at this year’s Build conference. NET Core, ASP.NET Core, Xamarin and Unity, Visual Studio for Mac is a native application. Now that it’s worked out the bugs, the company is releasing the first GA (general availability) candidate.
Back in November 2016, Microsoft released it as a beta for eager developers. It’s not the first time we’ve talked Visual Studio for Mac.
It’s available to download now, and the company promises some big features that may have you switching IDEs.
At Build 2017, Microsoft announced general availability for the Mac version of Visual Studio.
