I just want to download a lower version of Visual Studio for Mac. The current version is 7.5.1 and I want to download 7.4.3.
Can anyone tell me where can I get that download file or link?
From some guesswork I found it by using this URL :
https://dl.xamarin.com/VsMac/VisualStudioForMac-7.4.2.12.dmg
Not installed it tho.
From this, comment on the 9th May link seems like you have to open a support ticket?!?!
As an update on this topic, all of the recent previous Xamarin.iOS,
Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.Mac packages are available in the
archives on the open source continuous builds server (under the
Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.MaciOS tabs). And the Mono Framework MDK
is similarly available in the Mono Project download archive. I have
now updated the 15.7 Release Xamarin Release Blog post to provide the
links to those locations. In many cases, the latest version of Visual
Studio for Mac will be backwards compatible with previous versions of
the Xamarin SDKs, so you can in many cases just install those earlier
Xamarin SDK versions over the current versions and leave Visual Studio
for Mac and Mono Framework MDK at the latest.
If you do need to get an older version of Visual Studio for Mac
itself, the best option at this time is still to create a support
incident to request the version you'd like. The updated info for
creating a Visual Studio for Mac support incident is to go to
Technical Support > Product: Visual Studio > Assisted Support on
https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/support/ and then select Visual Studio
Community/Professional/Enterprise 2017 for Mac.
I used to download previous releases from my Xamarin account page
which now doesn't seem to exist anymore.
At the moment, the direct link to the old downloads page
(https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads) is not
yet set to redirect, so it is still possible to access that page, but
indeed that page is considered deprecated in favor of the open source
continuous builds archive at this time, and the previous versions
provided on that page are from the earlier Xamarin 15.5 Release rather
than the Xamarin 15.6 Release.
Bunch of other versions in case someone needs them:

My current Xamrin app deveenvironment on vs2017 :
a)Xamarin.Android version v7
android references
b)Xamarin.Forms version 3.4
forms references
c)Xamrin SDK platoform 28,27 are sdk manager Tool screenshot
Reason for confusion :
a) When i googled for the documentation related Xamarin.Andorid references
#https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/package-summary it showed a message that it is deprecated
b)Also my Xamarin.Forms references are not the latest as per the release info # https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/release-notes/
c)But my android sdk are new to latest available in vs2017
Main question :
How is the Xamarin.version and xamarin.Forms affect my app development ?Should i upgrade to the latest versions of the same ( for that i need to install vs2019)?
If you could use the latest version of them, I will suggest that do that with no doubt.
You also could refer to Xamarin.Forms release notes and roadmap to know their difference betwenn their vesions.
About the version of Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2019 will support all the features of Xamarin now, however Visual Studio 2017 will not. Also can refer to the realease notes here.
Hi i mistakenly upgraded Visual Studio for Mac to 8.5.2 (build 13) which has Xamarin.iOS Version: 13.16.0.13 (Visual Studio Community).
Turns out this doesn't work with XCode 11.3.1 and needs XCode 11.4, which means I will need to upgrade the OS from Mojave to Catalina; i'm not ready to upgrade the OS just yet..
I have tried searching on the Microsoft website, but cant see any obvious links to downgrade or select a different Xamarin.iOS version
How can i roll back the Xamarin.iOS to a version that is compatible with XCode 11.3?
To use an older version of Xamarin.iOS you need to download it from a link.
It's very difficult to answer this question, because the answer need a link..
And Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes...
So, First you need to find the version number of your wanted Xamarin.iOS.
Here you can see all release Version tags from the official
xamarin github repository.
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/tags
Then you need to found the Microsoft official patern link from their official download .pkg repository used by Visual Studio.
The official Microsoft pkg repository : https://aka.ms/xvs/pkg
The patern link : https://aka.ms/xvs/pkg/<framework>/<version>.
Finally, you need to create your own link regardless you framework and version
Example:
Xamarin.iOS: https://aka.ms/xvs/pkg/macios/15.4.0.0
But you need to found out your own link by your self.
You can also try from the github
Xamarin.iOS https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/blob/main/DOWNLOADS.md
Using Visual Studio 2017 and Xamarin, I installed the Xamarin Android SDK Manager to replace the default Android SDK Manager, which is now deprecated.
Then I updated JDK to the current x64 version and, using the Xamarin SDK Manager, I installed the most recent version of Android NDK.
I now want to update the locations of these SDK's in the Xamarin Android SDK Manager, Locations tab like so:
Yet, every time I restart the tool, the locations are reset. It also keeps telling me there's 2 components to install, yet when I do, it doesn't complain about any failure.
I have tried running as Admin and cannot seem to figure out what is wrong. Log files seem to be non existent. Is there anyone who has the same problem and found a solution?
This was a bug and has been fixed in 0.1.76.
See https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=58319 for details.
Download the newest version here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Xamarin.XamarinAndroidSDKManager
To keep build tool version consistency, I want to manually upgrade Xamarin on my desktop as well as my CI build server (not to be confused with a Xamarin mac build host). Running auto-update only works if I upgrade all machines at the same time.
So I go to download, and I thin I need to download Xamarin.Android - latest version is 4.0.1. No revision number is given here.
The thing is, I did run an update from Visual Studio the other day, and according to the about dialog, I'm now running "Xamarin.Android 6.0.1.10":
Xamarin 4.0.1.89 (413372c)
Visual Studio extension to enable development for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android.
Xamarin.Android 6.0.1.10 (e98e962)
Visual Studio plugin to enable development for Xamarin.Android.
I've heard that the v4.0.1 relates to the Visual Studio plugin (I use VS on my desktop).
IN addition, I don't use Visual Studio on my CI build server; instead I have Xamarin Studio. When I look at pending updates for that, it's offering "Xamarin 4.0.1.93" - presumably not a Visual Studio plugin for Android Studio?
Is Xamarin telling me I'm downloading "Xamrin.Android 4.0.1" when really I'm downloading "Xamarin v4.0.1.?" which contains "Xamarin.Android v6.x.x.x".
My end-game is that I would like to be sure of what versions of Xamarin components are involved when building using MSBuild.
If I need to do a legacy build, I would like the legacy build tool to be used.
Update: I have started tracking versions myself here
Xamarin support got back to me. My understanding is:
The version number in the dropdown seems to be that of the installer that bundles both Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS. It is not the version of Xamarin.Android.
Build tool version: "Xamarin.Android performs the build, so this is what you are looking for."
You can find out roughly what version of "Xamarin.Android" is bundled with "Xamarin" from the "Xamarin" Release Notes. The top line says something like Xamarin 4.0 updates Xamarin.iOS 9.4 and Xamarin.Android 6.0 releases.
More info from Xamarin:
On Windows you cannot download separate installers for Xamarin.iOS and
Xamarin.Android.
The Xamarin.VisualStudio package (also referred to as just "Xamarin")
includes Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android.
E.g., Xamarin 4.0.1.93 contains Xamarin.iOS 9.4.1.24 and
Xamarin.Android 6.0.1.10
The version number you see on the download page refers to the version
number of "Xamarin" - which, as above, includes Xamarin.iOS and
Xamarin.Android. This is the same when you are updating and see
"Xamarin 4.0.1.93" for example.
You need to install "Xamarin" even if you are using Xamarin Studio on
Windows as this includes Xamarin.Android.
and
We do issue separate installers for Xamarin.Android on OS X, so if you are able to use a Mac for your CI (e.g., with something like Jenkins), then this may be more viable.
I get the error after updating Xamarin in Visual Studio which I had to do after a git pull. I have also applied the Xamarin updates in Xamarin Studio on my Mac build host. (Xamarin Studio > Check for updates).
The iOS SDK version '9.2' is not installed, and no newer version was found.
You can also modify the SDK version of your iOS project from visual studio in order to support older SDKs where you cant update the XCode or SDKs.
Open iOS project properties from Visual Studio.
Open iOS.Build tab
Set SDK version to 'Default'
Set Link Behaviour to 'Link Framework SDKs Only'
Save and Run the project
XCode needed updating to get the latest SDK.
The App Store told me there were updates, and mentioned SDK 9.2 in the summary so I updated.
It appears the cause was a commit on the csproj that bumped the SDK.
You can manually edit .csproj file and replace <MtouchSdkVersion>9.2</MtouchSdkVersion> with the version you actually have on your mac. This can be a solution when you use an old OS which does not offer updates for XCode.
