Cannot install Mac version with latest Visual Studio 2022 for Mac

[clicketyclackety]

I'm trying to use this extension to build ETO UIs on Mac for a Rhino Plugin I've been working on.

I tried installing the extension, but I get dependency issues about Mono;

I'm newer to mac so I'm not really sure how resolve this.
Thanks again,

My hardware

• Mac OS Ventura 13.3.1 (a)
• Chip - M1
  Visual Studio
• Version 17.6.3 (build 421)

I managed to build it successfully for myself by following these steps

1. Clean every build file and artifact
2. Change the <MonoDevelopVersion> in Eto.DevExtensions.VisualStudio.Mac.csproj to 17.6.3
3. Run the build command used in the github actions workflow

Well, looks like there's no need to update this extension for VS for Mac anymore.. ☹️

Curtis, what IDE you recommend for Mac?

[cwensley]

@RafaeldelM I personally use Visual Studio Code, but I hear JetBrains Rider works as well. I have not yet created any Eto extensions for either of those, however.

I was planning to start with the migration of RhinoArtisan to Mac. Then, maybe is better we wait to Eto for VS Code right?

Hey @RafaeldelM, the extension(s) are not necessary to develop Rhino or Eto UI on Mac. The only thing an extension might do is provide autocompletion for Eto's xeto files.
