Microsoft has announced the first preview of Visual Studio 2022 for Mac, the next version of its flagship IDE due to release soon. Earlier this year, Microsoft released the first Visual Studio 2022 preview for Windows, and now the IDE is available to test on Apple computers.

Visual Studio 2022 for Mac brings a "truly native" macOS experience. Microsoft says developers have re-written the app using all native macOS UI controls for a more comfortable and familiar dev environment. Apart from better looks, the use of native components provides better support for assistive technologies for people with limitations and disabilities. Also, it speeds up the overall performance of the IDE, fixes bugs, and reduces the number of crashes.

Microsoft also has a dedicated Visual Studio for Mac roadmap, where it provides users with information about upcoming changes and new features in the IDE.

A month ago, Microsoft announced Visual Studio 2022 for Mac Preview 6 with lots of bug fixes and improvements to the native UI. Now, the company has rolled out Preview 7, and just like the previous release, it packs tons of bug fixes, UI enhancements, and support for more tooling.

With Preview 7, Microsoft has patched some stability and crashing issues, fixed shortcuts on Spanish keyboard layouts, and also ensured that breakpoints work when debugging a library, among many other things.
As usual, Microsoft is continuing its efforts to use native macOS UI controls and design language in Visual Studio.

Finally, development of serverless apps using Azure Functions V4 is now supported. Microsoft has stated that:

Adding support for Azure Functions V4 also enables Azure Functions development on M1 (arm64)-based processors, which required the arm64 .NET 6 SDK. In this release you can use Azure Functions V4 on Intel or M1-based machines. Azure Functions V2 & V3 projects can be opened and developed on Intel-based processors; support for creating V2 or V3 projects on Intel devices will return in an upcoming preview release.
