Details of What's New in 7.7

Visual Studio 2017 for Mac version 7.7

released November 28, 2018

New Features in 7.7

  • Visual Studio for Mac now supports .NET Core 2.2.
  • We added new icons to show you when quick fixes are available.
  • We now support Publish to folder for ASP.NET Core projects.
  • NuGet has been updated to version 4.7.

Quick fix improvements

Quick fixes can now be applied by using the light bulb or screwdriver icons in the C# editor, or by pressing Option+Enter when your cursor is on a line of code for which an action is available. You will see an error light bulb if there is a red squiggle indicating an error, and Visual Studio for Mac has a fix available for that error.

Publish to folder option for ASP.NET Core projects

When developing ASP.NET Core applications, there are many different options for hosting your application.In previous releases we supported publishing your ASP.NET Core applications to Azure App Services. In this release we are adding the ability to publish ASP.NET Core applications to a folder.After publishing your application to a folder, you can then transfer the files to the remote server, which will host your applications.When you use the new Folder Publish feature, it will automatically create a Publish Profile (.pubxml file in PropertiesPublishProfiles). These profiles can be used in either Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio 2017 (Windows) or from the command line with dotnet build (or MSBuild).

Xamarin

This release includes the following bug fixes and improvements for Xamarin:

Xamarin.Forms

  • We fixed an issue where the namespace for new Forms Content Page (XAML) in F# is wrong.
  • We fixed an issue where go to error / location in XAML fails.
  • We fixed an issue where Go To Error/Location in XAML would not take you to the correct location.

Xamarin.Android

  • With Visual Studio 2017 15.9 and Visual Studio for Mac 7.7, we are moving from Oracle's JDK to a lightweight distribution of Open JDK meant for mobile development. Open JDK will be offered as a component to install along with other Visual Studio for Mac updates and you will be prompted to update your JDK settings to use Open JDK once installed.
  • The Device Manager startup time has been optimized.
  • The available system images now reflect the available options for the selected manifest. This enables Android P support for the device manager when the google manifest is selected in the SDK manager.
  • The device manager no longer relies on the JAVA_HOME environment variable being set and it is exported it for processes that require it.
  • Fixed an issue where AVD Rename would crash the app for the custom ANDROID_AVD_HOME case.
  • Fixed an issue where the Device Manager would not indicate there had been system image installation failure.
  • Fixed an issue where jarsigner would be used instead of apksigner.
  • Fixed an issue where it would not be possible to run an Android app in the emulator.
  • Building an Android project when the Java SDK cannot be found is correctly reported as a build error instead of reporting that the Android SDK cannot be found.
  • Wording and behavior made consistent with Visual Studio on Windows regarding how we handle target framework, minimum and target Android versions.
  • The target framework of the project is now controlled more explicitly, first by <uses-sdk /> in AndroidManifest.xml element if it contains the targetSdkVersion property, followed by the project's TargetFrameworkVersion. Visual Studio for Mac will migrate projects to remove AndroidUseLatestPlatformSdk if it exists. It will also update AndroidManifest.xml to add <uses-sdk /> if it is missing.
  • When publishing to Google Play, we now warn if your app has a targetSdkVersion less than API 26.
  • We fixed an issue where the build should fail fast if target framework is not compatible with target device.
  • We fixed an issue where Cannot enable 'INTERNET' permission on AndroidManifest.xml dialog with F# projects.
  • We fixed an issue where Visual Studio for Mac was reporting Execution failed instead of the informing that the emulator was corrupted.
  • We fixed an issue where custom commands do not execute when archiving Android app.
  • We fixed an issue where the user is not prompted to install Android APIs above 25 if they are not installed.
  • armeabi ABI option has been removed now that it is no longer a supported ABI architecture.
  • The Minimum Android version and Target Android version selectors in the Android Application settings no longer provide 'Automatic' options. These often resulted in the AndroidManifest.xml file missing minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion attributes. A manifest missing these values is not practical and additionally can cause issues when publishing to the Play Store.
  • We fixed an issue where it is not possible to create a service run configuration.
  • We fixed an issue where the binding template of Android Library contains a typo.
  • We fixed an issue where trying to upload an ANDROID release to GooglePlay fails with 'Version 38 of this app cannot be downloaded by any devices as they will all receive APKs with higher version codes.'.
  • We fixed an issue where opening Report A Problem also displays 'install JDK' dialog.
  • We fixed an issue where it is not possible to debug a separate service in Xamarin.Android app (can't create a service run configuration).

Xamarin.iOS

This release adds support for new ARKit 2.0 asset catalog resources: ARReferenceGroup, ARReferenceImage and ARObject.

ARKit 2.0 supports 2D and 3D objects detection. ARReferenceImage is the new asset catalog type for 2D images that can be used and recognized by ARKit. Width and Height of the ARReferenceImage can be set in the asset editor so ARKit can render virtual overlays of the correct dimensions. The ARObject type takes an '.arobject' file that can be created by some ARKit samples.

We also made the following improvements:

  • We updated our CoreML support:
    • CoreML Model Viewer has been updated to display the new Custom Layers that were introduced with Xcode 10 and iOS 12.
    • CoreML code-behind generator has been updated to add more convenience methods.
  • We fixed an issue that caused random crashes - Xamarin.MacDev.MobileDeviceException: Device is invalid.
  • We fixed an issue where the iOS project properties window for image resource sets incorrect property in .csproj file.
  • We fixed an issue with migration from WatchKit to Xamarin.WatchOS.
  • Fixed an error updating an Xcode project.
  • Fixed an issue where Automatic iOS provisioning profile dialog did not have clickable links.
  • Fixed an issue where archiving would use a generic iOS device target even if a specific device is selected.
  • We added support for editing Background Modes for WatchKit Extensions.
  • We added support for CarPlay assets.
  • Added support for Metal 4v1 and 5v1 to DataSet Asset Catalog editor.
  • Added new WatchOS App Icon selectors for the new 40mm and 44mm watches.
  • Added support for Apple Watch Series 4 complications.
  • Updated the CoreML Model Viewer to display the new Custom Layers that were introduced with Xcode 10 and iOS 12.
  • Added support for the AutoFill Credential Provider entitlement.
  • Updated the CoreML code-behind generator to add more convenience methods.
  • We fixed an issue where saving of 'Optimize' metadata for stand-alone image assets in the Properties Pad.
  • We fixed an issue where enabling/disabling keychain access groups may not be persisted to the entitlements file.
  • We fixed an issue where it was not possible to set launch images for iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XR.
  • We fixed an issue where new iOS projects not being being created correctly....
  • We fixed an issue where enabling and disabling keychain access groups may not be persisted to the entitlements file.
  • When archiving a build for publishing, we make sure to build targeting a generic iOS device in case the project is configured the build to using device-specific builds.
  • When archiving a build for publishing, we make sure to save open files in accordance with IDE preferences.
  • We fixed an issue where the simulators were not sorting correctly for new iPhone XS and XR devices.
  • We now recommend installing Xcode if the version needed by Xamarin.iOS is incompatible.

Xamarin.Mac

  • Added support for changing the .NET Framework version to use for 'Full Framework' projects. Projects are no longer limited to just .NET 4.5.
  • We fixed an issue where Visual Studio for Mac would fail to show new API levels in Minimum and Target Android version drop downs.
  • We improved the error messaging when no JDK is installed. Previously it was not obvious whether the JDK or the Android SDK was not installed.
  • We fixed an issue where Visual Studio for Mac was unable to connect to Xcode 9.2 after updating to version 7.6 (build 2190).
  • We fixed an issue where opening Mac Cocoa project storyboard failed.

Installer

Feature Improvements

We made the following improvements to the installer:

  • With Visual Studio 2017 15.9 and Visual Studio for Mac 7.7, we are moving from Oracle's JDK to a lightweight distribution of Open JDK meant for mobile development. Open JDK will be offered as a component to install along with other Visual Studio for Mac updates and you will be prompted to update your JDK settings to use Open JDK once installed.
  • We added better descriptions to the workload selection. We hope that these descriptions will make it easier for you to decide which workloads you want to install.
  • We also made some other minor changes to the workload selection screen, making things clearer and concise for our users.
  • In this release we focused a lot on improving our localization in the installer. We added localization to more branding, the splash screen, and workloads screen to make it more accessible for all users worldwide.
  • We understand that not all of our users are using Xamarin and therefore may not have any need to download Xcode. For this reason, we've moved the location of the Xcode dialog to the end of the install and will only prompt it for Xamarin users who do not have it installed (or up to date). This means that you can download Xcode while starting your development, rather than having it interrupt your install.
  • We also understand that Visual Studio for Mac users that don't use Xamarin have no need for the Xamarin Profiler. For this reason, we've removed Profiler from non-Xamarin workloads.

Bug fixes

This this release we fixed the following bugs:

  • We fixed an issue where if an Xcode update was available it would still say 'Get Xcode'. We changed this to 'Update Xcode'.
  • We fixed an issue where the Profiler is getting installed from installer even though user has not selected any Xamarin workload.
  • We fixed an issue where the Profiler is not getting installed from installer though user has selected all Xamarin workloads.
  • We fixed an issue where a Visual Studio for Mac upgrade fails to copy symlink.

Other

  • Fixed an issue where the version control Diff view would not show the correct changed text.
  • Fixed an issue where the Class pad shows compiler generated fields and constructors.
  • Fixed an issue where an error was logged when the news feed could not be retrieved.
  • Fixed an issue where the updater would not display 'Checking for updates...' until the channel was changed.
  • Fixed an issue where the Sign in button for publishing to Azure was not rendered correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where running unit tests always ran a full build.
  • Fixed an issue with running NUnit 3 tests due to a misnamed test runner application.
  • The Welcome page is no longer displayed when loading a solution from Finder.
  • We fixed an issue where the UnitTest text editor extension causes slowness in the IDE.
  • Assembly Explorer listing changes method name when hovering mouse over the method/constructor names.

Description

Visual Studio for Mac has just been released! Come join us for a tour of this fully-featured IDE that will help every Mac developer create mobile and cloud applications. We started with a solid foundation for mobile development using Xamarin, and cloud development using .NET Core and recently added ASP.NET Core support. We’ve just announced support for game development with Unity, and new preview features for Azure developers using Docker or Azure Functions. In this hour and a half, learn about the basics of the IDE such as navigation, debugging, code editing, and refactoring tools to ease your C# and F# development. We also take a whirlwind tour through the mobile and cloud features included in the IDE. Finally, we look at what’s coming up next.
