Solution

  • No, Visual Studio for Mac has no support for C++, as stated in various places:

    Visual Studio for Mac is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin and .NET. There has no option to create C++ project in this version some other community members reported this suggestion to the Visual Studio Product Team, please check this: Support C++ in Visual Studio for Mac and you can vote it, then waiting for the feedback from the Visual Studio Product Team.

    Also, as reformulated in the UE forums it reads:

    Looks like vs for mac is just a rebranded xamarin studio, and only supports C#, no C++.
