MacOS – Visual Studio For Mac

developmentidemacos

If I want to use VS to use Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android do I have to keep Xamarin Studio installed on my Mac? VS has always been my favorite IDE, I don't really like Xamarin Studio.

Best Answer

According to the System Requirements for Visual Studio for Mac:

NET Core SDK 1.1 is required to use .NET Core projects and features. It can be downloaded and installed separately, and requires Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11 or higher.

Xamarin.Android requires the 64-bit Java Development Kit (JDK).

Xamarin.iOS requires Apple's Xcode IDE and iOS SDK.

Xamarin.Forms can target both Android and iOS platforms, given the requirements listed above.

It makes no mention of Xamarin Studio being required.

Try to launch devenv through runas.exe, there you can specify the user who you want. So you should make a shortcut with the following command:

runas.exe /user:admin "c:\PATHTODEVENV\devenv.exe

As I know it will ask your password, but then you can try the /savecred switch.
