Microsoft has released a private preview of Visual Studio 2022 for Mac.
Join the Visual Studio 2022 for Mac Private Preview
Today we’re inviting you to try out Visual Studio 2022 for Mac as we share our first private preview release. The Visual Studio 2022 for Mac preview can be installed side-by-side with earlier versions of Visual Studio for Mac and is free to use.
Our goal with Visual Studio 2022 for Mac is to make a modern .NET IDE tailored for the Mac that delivers the productive experience you’ve come to love in Visual Studio. This release focuses on:
- Improving IDE performance and reducing crashes with a new fast and fluid native macOS UI.
- Taking advantage of more of macOS’s built-in accessibility features.
- Updating the experience to feel more familiar between Mac and Windows.
With this private preview, we’d like to share our new native macOS UI and hear from you about what we got right and where we need to keep iterating. Visual Studio 2022’s fully native UI is the result of an engineering effort that included substantial changes to the UI layer with a focus on some key technical internals. With these major investments, we are setting the stage to deliver improved stability and performance in the final release. This update affects every part of Visual Studio for Mac, so the scope is much bigger than our usual previews.
