Does Visual Studio for Mac 2019 not work with mono-game along with pipeline?

I'm starting to use MonoGame and use a MacOS Mojave. I downloaded version 3.7.1 from the official website along with the standalone pipeline(THOUGH I DOWNLOADED PIPELINE ONLY FOR ADDITIONAL TOOLS).

After installation I opened VS 2019 and checked the project template and no new MonoGame template.

I thought that it should work right away? Do I need to download an older VS version?

Solution

  • It doesn't seem to work for now, but you cann use one of the those two work around:

    1) If you already have VS2017 installed, you can copy the templates to the 2019 folder and they will appear in the laqunch.

    %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\MonoGame 
to 
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\MonoGame

    2) You can create it using the following commands:

    dotnet new --install MonoGame.Templates.CSharp
dotnet new mgdesktopgl -o MyGame
