Developer Community for Visual Studio Product family. Fixed In: Visual Studio 2019 For Mac Version 8.8 Preview 4. There are some plans to align Visual Studio for Mac more closely with Visual Studio for availability of older downloads in the future. For the moment, the easiest option in general might be to create a support incident to request the version you'd like. But for this exact case, I've just messaged you some links for the previous versions.

Install
Start Window
With this release, we've introduced a brand new way of interacting with your projects and getting you to where you need to go in the IDE. Music video maker free download for mac.
If you're a new Visual Studio for Mac user, you'll be prompted to log in when you first open the IDE. By logging in you can activate your Professional or Enterprise account or connect to Azure. If you're not ready to sign in, you can press the Skip button and sign in through the Visual Studio > Sign In menu item.
You'll then be greeted with the new start window. This window has three main sections, allowing you to create or open new and existing projects:
New Code Editor
Visual Studio for Mac 2019 contains a preview of the next generation text editor for Visual Studio for Mac! This new text editor shares the same core components with Visual Studio Windows, with an entirely new, native user interface.
At this time, the new editor supports C# files only. Additional language support will be added in future releases.
The new Visual Studio for Mac editor brings the following features:
Exceptions now use the Cocoa UI to display exception messages, including exception notification and details:
Context Menu Navigation is enabled. You can now use context menu based navigation commands like 'Go to Declaration' and 'Go To Implementation'. We have also enabled 'Remove and Sort Usings'.
How to enable or disable the editor
As the new editor is a preview feature within Visual Studio for Mac 2019, you have to opt-in to use the feature. Go to the Visual Studio > Preferences… > Text Editor > General section and check the Open C# files in the New Editor checkbox. Once this option is checked, any newly opened C# files will be using the new editor. You will know the new editor is enabled when the 'New Editor Preview' button appears in the bottom-right of the editing window.
To disable the new editor, either click the New Editor Preview button in the bottom right of the editor pane and select Disable the New Editor Preview or navigate to the Visual Studio > Preferences… > Text Editor > General section and un-check the Open C# files in the New Editor checkbox.
How to Report a Problem with the editor
To report a problem in the new editor, either click the 'New Editor Preview' button in the bottom right of the editor pane and select 'Report a Problem'. You can also go directly to Developer Community.
Support for multiple instances
Visual Studio for Mac now supports opening multiple instances of the IDE from the dock. Visual Studio for Mac has always had support for opening multiple solutions in one window but we’ve heard a lot of requests to support multiple windows for the IDE. To open a new instance, right-click on the icon in the dock and select New Instance:
Set Startup projects
A new command, Set Startup Projects, is available to make it easier to create a solution Run Configuration that will launch multiple projects when debugging. For information on setting multiple startup projects, see the documentation.
Debugging improvements for Unity
In this release we've replaced the debugger that's used for Unity projects with the debugger from Visual Studio Tools for Unity on Windows. This change has better compatibility with older versions of Unity, improvements for debugging unsafe C# code, and provides better reliability.
Xamarin Improvements
Xamarin developers should find a ton of improvements in this release. New highlights include:
Xamarin.Android
We know that developers run through the build-deploy-debug cycle countless times a day, and we're consistently working towards shortening the inner development loop even more. In this release, we've made huge gains by optimizing incremental builds and deployments.
Using the SmartHotel360 app for testing, incremental build times have been trimmed by up to 29%, and deployment times are up to twice as fast. A full report of build performance profiling and methodology is available on the Xamarin.Android wiki, but here’s a quick overview:
Our mission to continually increase build reliability continues and one area we've made optimizations to is Android resource updates. By minimizing scenarios where resource updates would occur at build time, there should be a significant reduction of build issues stemming from conflicts in this area.
In a step towards parity with the Android in Visual Studio on Windows experience, the deployment process has been further streamlined and the Android emulator will now launch when starting a build.
Xamarin.Forms
The brand-new template for Xamarin Forms Shell projects is now available, and for a more uniform experience across IDEs, this release also includes new file templates previously available only in Visual Studio on Windows. You can use the new XAML files today by navigating to File > New File… > Forms in the Visual Studio 2019 for Mac menu. The new file items are:
And to help make productivity a touch better, Intellisense in Xamarin.Forms XAML files for FontFamily support is now available:
Android Designer
We now have support for Android Pie (9.0)! Additionally, we made enhancements to increase Android Designer start up time and improved scrolling widget support.
This release also ships support for adding “standard” XML namespaces to documents when a corresponding attribute is set, as well as support for escape sequences like '@', '?' and Unicode escape sequences.
iOS Designer
We’ve added support for PDF as an image format, and improved support for color spaces and color precision. Additionally, you can now select named colors from asset catalogs as the value for color properties.
We now have support for custom controls that need to load native dynamic libraries or frameworks (note that static libraries are not supported). Additionally, custom properties of type CGSize will now appear in the property panel for custom controls
Azure Functions improvements
We have updated Azure Functions runtime and templates (CLI) in this release. In addition, Visual Studio for Mac will offer you the ability to update your function templates if new templates are available when creating a new Functions project. To update Azure Functions templates, select the update button next to the text 'Updated templates are available':
Visual Studio for Mac also supports Azure Functions CLI installed via HomeBrew and will choose the instance with the highest discovered version.

New XAML Editor
Both Android XML resources and Forms XAML files editing are now powered by Visual Studio for Mac’s new editor. The Xamarin.Forms XAML editing experience on Mac is now powered by the same engine that drives WPF, UWP, and Xamarin.Forms IntelliSense on Windows. This brings several enhancements to Xamarin.Forms developers. Enhancements such as improved matching, binding/commanding IntelliSense, and light bulb suggestions. Additionally, code navigation, linting, resource completion, and markup extension completion also underwent ameliorations.
