New Features
Accessibility
This release of Visual Studio 2019 for Mac brings a refreshed color palette, new icons, and updated warning and error status messages. Color contrast ratios for text and icons have been increased to improve clarity. Visual Studio for Mac also now fully suports macOS High Contrast Mode.
In addition to the visual changes, this release of Visual Studio 2019 for Mac has made a number changes to increase overall accessibility of the IDE. These include:
- Improvements to focus order and visibility when using VoiceOver in the debugger, NuGet Package Manager and project options dialog.
- Areas previously inaccessible by keyboard navigation, such as the pin and eye icon, are now navigable by keyboard.
- Enhanced feedback from VoiceOver for debugger staus.
- After creating a project using the New Project Dialog, the IDE now accurately announces “project created” status message to VoiceOver users.
- Fixes to the NuGet Package manager that allow keyboard access to the Browse, Installed, Update and Consolidate tabs.
- VoiceOver now announces the selected version in the 'New version' dropdown.
- VoiceOver now announces more information when using version control, the publish to Azure feature, and in a number of additional areas.
Version Control
We replaced our old Git implementation with a wrapper around the official Git command line client, which is already used by Visual Studio on Windows, in order to improve the overall performace and reliability of Git support in the IDE. The new Git support depends on the official
git
client. The recommended way to install Git is to install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools by running xcode-select --install
in the Terminal app (Xcode does not need to be installed).Debugger
- Function breakpoints can now be edited.
- We have improved stepping performance in .NET Core projects.
Editor
- We updated Light & Dark themes to match Visual Studio.
Installer
- We added a new item to the carousel to allow users to sign up for ASP.NET Core tips.
- We added support to implement CLI tools required by version control.
- We integrated error reporting to aid in improving future quality.
Web and Azure
- We bumped to the latest .NET Core release.
- We added authentication support in the New Project Dialog for ASP.NET Core projects.
- We added support for v2/v3 of Azure Functions runtime.
NuGet
- We bumped NuGet to 5.4.
Xamarin
- You can now see a hierarchy of your Xamarin.Forms controls in the Document Outline pane. On Windows, it can be opened with Ctrl+Alt+T (View > Other Windows > Document Outline). On Mac, you can open it via Views > Pads > Document Outline.
- When debugging multiple projects at the same time, you can now use XAML Hot Reload simultaneously on both targets. For example, you can use XAML Hot Reload to see how your XAML change looks on both an iOS and Android phone at the same time. Learn more about debugging multiple process in the Visual Studio 2019 documentation.
- You can now set the default iOS Designer in Visual Studio for Mac. Any changes made in the Xcode storyboard designer will be synchronized back to Visual Studio for Mac automatically.
- You can now apply Android resource changes at runtime using Android Apply Changes. This feature allows you to quickly see changes made to your Android resource files (XML layouts, drawables, etc) on an Android device or emulator without requiring the application to be restarted.
- You can now generate your own custom profiles when using startup tracing in your Android application. This provides you an even more performant startup experience with a minimal increase to APK size.
- You can now generate Xamarin.Android bindings against Kotlin libraries.
- You can now use the Google Manifest Merger when merging AndroidManifest.xml files in your Android projects. This allows you to customize how each manifest and its contents will be merged. For more details on rules that can be applied, please see Merge multiple manifest files.
- The option to use shared project has been removed when creating a new Xamarin.Forms app. New Xamarin.Forms apps will now use .NET Standard to ensure the best development experience.
