Custom native controls seem to be unsupported in the Preview version out-of-the-box, but I expect this to get improvements too. I should also say that I am thrilled by the ability of the new version to show design-time for Forms. So, you get both the easy-to-start experience coming from working in an already known environment and the confidence that this environment will continue to evolve and grow. What exciting times are coming! We were very excited, just like you, to try it out, together with Telerik UI for Xamarin.įirst, I should say that, as a guy acquainted with both Visual Studio (for Windows) and Xamarin, I found the fact that Visual Studio for Mac actually resembles Xamarin Studio very appealing. Have you heard the BIG news? Visual Studio for Mac was announced just a little before Microsoft Connect() and it is already available for download from here.
See how easy it is to create and run an app with the new Visual Studio for Mac and UI for Xamarin.
