Feature Request: Visual Studio extension for Mac

See original GitHub issue

I had to use XAML/UWP for an internship and it’s my favorite way of making a GUI. I found this framework and was excited to try it out, however I have a Mac at home. The extension only comes in .vsix format which isn’t supported by Visual Studio for Mac. If a corresponding plugin for Mac were made that would be great!

The problem with VSforMac is that while being based on MonoDevelop, it doesn’t upstream the required changes back. So things like .NET Core debugger aren’t available in MonoDevelop at all.

So it makes a VSforMac extension to be an effort that only covers one platform. We’d rather invest in VSCode or Rider extensions, since those IDEs work everywhere.

We are currently collaborating with JB folks to make Rider extension possible.

Hi there! I’ve been really interested in avalonia for a while. I’m a Rider user - and wondering, is there any update on the plugin? Do you have a beta version to use?
