  This release is looking really good! I can even build and debug an Umbraco 9 CMS instance on an M1 Mac. One issue that’s killing me though: the keyboard is jacked. No matter what keyboard settings I use, and even if I wipe all settings and start from scratch, I can’t use the keyboard to select text in the editor (e.g. shift+down/up). Sometimes it works when I use a variation of this like shift+option+down/up, but not always. Any thoughts on this issue?

    Thank you for trying out the release and sharing your feedback right away, we really appreciate it, @Michael. We did some massive work on keyboard shortcuts in this release and really want to make sure this are in good shape. I’m not able to replicate this issue with a quick test, but that only means we need a few more details.

    If you haven’t yet, could you please report this issue using the Help > Report a Problem… menu in the IDE? That will give us some useful build details and when you include log files it can help with troubleshooting. A few questions we’d ask:
    * What editor/language are you using when the keyboard shortcuts fail?
    * If you do find a consistent order of pressing the keys that fails, please mention that in repro steps.
    * What language/locale are you using in macOS and in Visual Studio for Mac if it’s different from the OS setting?

        Great, thank you! It looks like there’s an issue with the feedback/work item system, so the item doesn’t show on the public website yet, but I did find it in the backend system. I asked a question there that I’ll share here, in case you don’t get the notification – what keyboard layout are you using in macOS System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources? We’re actively investigating what’s going on here.

  Not sure if this is a bug, but after installing Preview 6 and now 7 on M1 it does not have appropriate access by default to save files. Although it is working for some files and not for others (mostly have issues with xaml). Only after going to system settings and giving full access, it works fine.

    Thank you for trying out the previews and sharing your feedback. I haven’t seen this issue but it might be specific to your environment. If you haven’t already, would you please report this issue using the Help > Report a Problem… menu in the IDE? This will give us environment details and the logs. It would be good to also include:
    * If your macOS user is an admin or standard user
    * The location ‘Visual Studio (Preview).app’ is installed on your machine
    * The location on your disk is the project/solution giving you the problem
    * Exactly when you see the dialog (is it only when you save a xaml file?)

  Hello Jordan, there is problem with keyboard shortcuts in this version. By default many basic shortcuts doesn’t work (like text selection, save file, quit, even just simple navigation character left/right). After removing those binding in preferences some of them are starting to work and some of them are working only one time, like saving file for example. I’ve tried everything, even clean installing with wiping all settings.
  Is there any way to install previous version? This version is not usable for me. Thanks in advance!

  Update.
  Also noticed that after relaunching IDE, keyboard shortcuts are resetting sometimes.

    Thanks for the feedback, @mail4roman – this looks like the same issue mentioned by @Michael Argentini earlier in the comments. Could you please add your vote to this item and add a comment with any other details like what keyboard layout you’re using in macOS System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources?

      Done.

      Input Sources is English -> ABC

      Is there any way to rollback to Preview 6?

      Hi Jordan, so is there a way to rollback? As I understand the fix will be only in a next preview version and it could take for a month. Don’t want return back to the 2019 version, the preview 6 was working fine for me 🙂

  I was excited to try this out given stated Xamarin Mobile development support. Sadly I wasn’t able to successfully debug my Xamarin.Android / Xamarin.iOS apps on my M1 Macbook Air 🙁

  Does this release support native Xamarin app development, or only Xamarin.Forms? It would be good to know when we can expect full support.

  iOS behavior:
  Crashes immediately on deployment

  iOS output:

  error HE0042: Could not launch the app 'skydrop.skydrop' on the device 'iOS 15.2 (19C51) - iPhone 13': Application launch for 'skydrop.skydrop' did not return a valid pid nor a launch error.

  Android behavior:
  Hangs on splash screen, “Could not connect to the debugger” modal shown in VS 2022 17.0 Preview

  Android output:

  Thank you for the update! It was looking great. I was updated to Preview 7 & tried to create a new Maui project. The project was created but the alert icon appearing “.NET 6 Xamarin and MAUI projects are not supported with this version of Visual Studio. The included target frameworks are not supported: net6.0-android| net6.0-ios| net6.0-maccatalyst”. Is there any way to overcome this one? (or) Can I rollback to Preview 6 Anyhow?

  Hi, using this update I am not able to build Mac Catalyst projects anymore (net6.0-maccatalyst) that worked in the earlier version of VS. The other Xamarin targets also don’t work. Error Message: “.NET 6 Xamarin projects are not supported with this version of Visual Studio”.

  I can’t use this version of Visual Studio and neither can I downgrade to an earlier version. Please provide an update that fixes this issue or provide a workaround, any help would be appreciated!

  Hi, this version is prettier and faster than the old one. I want Visual Studio 2022 for Mac support Node.js and Python. I hope Visual Studio for Mac has similar features on the Windows version.
