As we work to bring you, our team will release the final update to Visual Studio 2017, version 15.9, in the coming months; you can try a preview of version 15.9. We’d love your feedback on this release as we finish it up; use to submit issues. Following our standard Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9 will be designated as the “Service Pack”. Once version 15.9 ships, customers still using version 15.0.x (RTM) will have one year to update to version 15.9 to remain in a supported state.

(Customers using versions 15.1 through 15.8 must update to the latest version immediately to remain supported.) After January 14, 2020, all support calls, servicing, and security fixes will require a minimum installed version of 15.9 for the duration of the. You can install the most up-to-date version of Visual Studio 2017 by using, the Visual Studio Installer, or from. We also plan to release Visual Studio 2017 for Mac version 7.7 in the coming months, and a final significant update to Visual Studio 2017 for Mac (version 7.8) in the first half of 2019, focused primarily on quality improvements. Visual Studio for Mac continues to follow the, and Visual Studio 2017 for Mac version 7.8 will be superseded by Visual Studio 2019 for Mac version 8.0 once released. For instructions on updating, see. More information is available on the page and the page.

Honestly, all I want from 15.9 is a return to stability. 15.8.x is becoming more of a time sink with every patch. Problems opening source files. Source files locked for no reason.

How to Run Visual Studio on a Mac Visual Studio doesn’t run natively on OS X, so my first step was to get Windows running on my MacBook Pro. (If you want an editor that does run natively, Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio Code might fit the bill). Play Parallels: Using Visual Studio on OSX. But you won't need this much horsepower to effectively use Visual Studio on a Mac. When running a wpf control from visual studio 2012 e.g.

Builds that just stall without an explanation. The debugger just quitting and refusing to play any more with no explanation. Freezes that weirdly spread to other applications and ultimately force a hard reset of the entire machine. And as for mobile development – very slow and buggy. You never know if it’s actually going to deploy and even then pot luck if it actually starts debugging.

It doesn’t even keep you properly informed so you never know if it’s hung or is just taking its own sweet time to finish the build. Frankly using VS over the last couple of months has become painful. It’s a rare day when I don’t have to restart it and sadly a rare week when I don’t have to force reset my PC at least once. Please – stop with the rapid development cycle.

You’re killing the quality. Andrue – thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. I apologize that these last few releases are not meeting your expectations for reliability of the project system and debugger, performance with mobile development, and general stability.

Your experience is not what we want for our customers either. If you’re willing to take some additional time, I’d like to put you in contact with our engineers so they can obtain additional information from you and logs from your machine so we can diagnose what is going wrong here, and fix it. If you’ve already reported these issues through Report-a-Problem, we can also use those to better understand the issues while taking up less of your time. You can email me at paul.chapman at Microsoft.com. And again, I’m sorry for the frustrating experience with Visual Studio. I would say my experience with VS2017 overall is positive. I think the team has put a lot of effort into ASP.NET Core workflows, which are great to work with, and Azure integration works very well too.

As for UWP and WPF, I think that pretty much does what it should do. But when it comes to Xamarin (Forms), I totally agree with you. Often simply upgrading Visual Studio means hours of trying to figure out why your project doesn’t build anymore or crashes on start. It is also very annoying when for some reason Intellisense stops working in your shared project or the XAML editor has no suggestions at all. In fact, we have moved away from Xamarin for new apps and are now using NativeScript instead – which we are developing in Visual Studio Code, since in our experience, TypeScript support is actually better there (not sure if it’s using different technology under the hood, but to us it appears to work faster and require fewer system resources, particularly CPU). So definitely keep up the good work you’re doing with web development, but it would be great if Xamarin tooling could have the same level of integration and stability (I know you rely on vendor tooling for that, and the same level of integration might be difficult to achieve).
