The Visual Studio for Mac debugger lets you step inside your code by setting Breakpoints, Step Over statements, Step Into and Out of functions, and inspect the current state of the code stack through powerful visualizations. Silverlight isn't reliable on anything but internet explorer on windows nowadays so it wouldn't surprise me to find it just doesn't work at all on latest versions of standard browsers on mac OS. As well as actually allowing a plug in the Silverlight framework has to work. Install Visual Studio for Mac behind a firewall or proxy server. To install Visual Studio for Mac behind a firewall, certain endpoints must be made accessible in order to allow downloads of the required tools and updates for your software.

Known Issues

The following is a list of all existing known issues in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac version 8.10:

  • Under certain conditions, a 'System.EntryPointNotFoundException' exception appears when deploying Xamarin.Forms projects to iOS device. We're currently working on a fix which will be released shortly.
  • After installing the latest .NET 5 SDK, developers of .NET Core 3.1 apps might see an error indicating 'The ASP.NET Core developer certificate is in an invalid state.'. Running dotnet dev-certs https --clean then dotnet dev-certs https --trust from the Terminal will fix the issue.
  • In rare cases, it's possible to be up to date with everything but the .NET Core 3.1.300 SDK. If you enter into this configuration and update to .NET Core 3.1.300 using the updater, the notification to update the .NET Core SDK will not disappear until the IDE is restarted.
  • On Big Sur gRPC projects may fail to build with an error protoc' exited with code 255. This is a problem with macOS platform detection in the gRPC.Tools NuGet package that is used by default in the project templates. A workaround is to update the gRPC.Tools NuGet package to version 2.34.0 or later.
  • In some cases, Android projects may fail to build with an error The Java SDK could not be found, please set the path to it in the Xamarin.Android SDKs settings panel. A workaround is to execute the following command in a Terminal: mkdir -p ~/Library/Android/sdk.
