If your development machine is still running Sierra (10.12) or older, you&#8217;ll need to plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2017\/09\/macos-high-sierra-now-available-as-a-free-update\/\">update to High Sierra<\/a> before you can use the latest Xcode. We recommend planning these updates in advance, so there aren&#8217;t any unexpected surprises when the previews make it to a stable release. To make it easier, all the Xamarin products already support High Sierra, so you can update as soon as possible. As always, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT201475\">take precautions when performing system updates<\/a> and backup your machine, important files, and documents. Updating now will ensure that your development machine is ready for Xcode 9.3 and the latest Xamarin.iOS version.<\/p>\n<h2>Download the Web Preview<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to test your application with the latest versions of Xcode, we&#8217;re providing a compatible Xamarin.iOS package as a web preview. You can install this on a Mac with macOS 10.13 or higher to use Visual Studio for Mac with Xamarin.iOS with Xcode 9.3 beta.<\/p>\n<h3>Xamarin.iOS<\/h3>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/releases.xamarin.com\/preview-xcode-9-3-beta-2-ios-11-3-macos-10-13-4-support-preview-1\/\">release blog<\/a> to download the web preview of Xamarin.iOS. Next, install the downloaded package on your Mac running macOS High Sierra.<\/p>\n<h3>Xcode<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, the latest Xcode beta can be downloaded from the <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\">Apple Developer Center<\/a>. Log in to your developer account and visit the Downloads section. Once Xcode is downloaded, extract it and move it to the Applications directory. In Visual Studio for Mac, visit <strong>Preferences &gt; SDK Locations &gt; Apple<\/strong> and change the path for <strong>Apple SDK<\/strong> to the newly installed <strong>Xcode-beta.app<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re all set to set to start running applications with Xcode 9.3!<\/p>\n<h2>Feedback<\/h2>\n<p>Participating in web previews is encouraged and we highly appreciate it! Your feedback on these previews directly helps impact the next release of Visual Studio and Xamarin.iOS.
