Visual Studio for Mac Retirement Announcement - Visual Studio Blog - programming.dev

Darn. I was really hoping it would improve.

I guess I can just use VS Code for now. And maybe use Rider in the future.

Rider doesn’t support MAUI. Nor does it support .net for iOS and .net for Mac which are part of MAUI and the natural upgrade from Xamarin. I downloaded Rider a few months ago and enjoyed being able to switch between VSMac and Rider, and especially enjoyed using CodePilot in Rider.

However Rider has a couple of nasty bugs that have been there for years - one of which was to ignore breakpoints. That came and went on me for a while.

I take back this comment partially. As 2023.1 (which I have), rider failed to support MAUI. As at 2023.2, they say they have preview support available. I’ve downloaded, and am giving it a try.
