Third-party app-development tools inherently start at somewhat of a deficit for platform-specific work too, particularly when working cross-platform, or with cross-platform app source pools. (Most of us have been there too, for some combination of those factors if not all of them.)Īpp development using Xcode and Swift Playgrounds are more typical practice around here.Ĭurrent Xcode almost always requires current macOS, or sometimes allows one macOS version back.
You’re starting in the deep end of this proverbial app-development pool, with an unfamiliar platform and an unfamiliar third-party development tool, and seemingly lacking some familiarity with the various parts and with who supports those parts, and what sure looks like a modicum of stress and/or frustration probably caused by the customer and/or by local management scheduling. Trying to do the most mundane setup stuff, one first has to search the net for hours. Exactly why I totally HATE Apple products because nothing is straight forward. I have tried using Catalina but can't load Xcode later than 12.4, hence the change to Monterey, and I have already wasted SO much time. The files are NOT corrupt and mac is NOT telling me what the issue is I have tried loading the images for various versions of Visual Studio as well as downloading them using different machines.
But in this case with VSC on macOS, that support is Microsoft and not Apple. For those cases, yes, you would want to involve whoever is supporting VSC for the platform. For other platforms where VSC is not supported by Microsoft, it’s usually then the platform vendor involved with VSC, or whoever ported VSC to that platform. In the case of VSC on macOS, Microsoft provides those customizations for the Apple platforms. Visual Studio Code itself can be an interesting package to use and troubleshoot-I’ve used it on occasion-but it’s one that can sometimes also be fragile, and it’s an IDE that requires platform-specific customizations and tailoring. Can’t say I’ve seen a question involving Visual Studio Code here at all VSC questions are certainly fairly rarely posted here. Search this Apple forum for previous VSC questions too, then. That’s certainly not always the case, but the app developer is in the best position to determine that and to localize the error, and to then provide a workaround or a fix, or to create a reproducer or otherwise work with the platform vendor toward a resolution. The errors arise with a third party app operating on the platform.Īs a developer troubleshooting an error, the best first presumption is that the error is in the app you’re developing, and not in the tools or in the platform. The errors occur on the mac so the natural assumption is that the Apple forums would have more experience with it than the MS forums. From the folks that know the apps and the product best, and that have support forums and scripts and tooling and FAQs for the product. The best spot for third-party app support is from the developers of those apps. What would you think about receiving bug reports and enhancement requests for an app such as Microsoft Visual Studio sent directly to you? Probably some variation of “um, okay, but VSC is not my code”, right? That’s what you’re asking us. As a developer, you should and do expect to receive feedback reporte for those apps that you develop, too. Rather than trying to help, you are trying to brush me off.
