Visual Studio for Mac is available to install

Xamarin.Mac is the Xamarin supported flavour of MonoMac. With Xamarin.Mac you get the ease of use that you will be accustomed to with Xamarin.iOS. That is, you can build a Mac App Store package with a few clicks. Xamarin.Mac also has some unique API's such as GameKit, AppKit, StoreKit which are not available in MonoMac. I am able to build my Xamarin iOS app successfully in Visual Studio on Mac with the Xamarin.iOS and Mono tooling that comes with it. We can download XCode from the Apple AppStore. Installation of the other two dependencies can happen from inside of JetBrains Rider. In the Preferences window, we can select Environment and select Mono and Xamarin iOS & Mac. Warning to the uninitiated, installing XCode is going to take a while.

Visual Studio for Mac builds on top of MonoDevelop, adding open sourced internals from Visual Studio and many new extensions to support new workloads. To get the latest available version, switch to the Stable updater channel after installing.

Supported on macOS 10.11 and later.
