    how are android, ios, arrays relevant to this? – N. Ivanov Nov 07 '17 at 08:47
  • What are you asking? Why "visual studio"? Are you looking for software recommendations (like a C compiler and/or IDE for MacOS)? If so, this is off-topic here. –  Nov 07 '17 at 08:50
  • Have you installed Visual Studio on iOS? – cdarke Nov 07 '17 at 09:17
  • @N.Ivanov: the Android SDK is bundled with Visual Studio on iOS. – cdarke Nov 07 '17 at 09:23
  • @cdarke but that is not relevant to his question at all. There is no `C` programming in Android. Also he is asking how to set it on a Mac, not an iPhone, that's why I raised the issue with wrong tags. Thanks! – N. Ivanov Nov 07 '17 at 09:39

    @N.Ivanov: well there is the NDK on Android for C and C++ development, although I agree that most development is in Java. Point is that VS on Mac is based on the Xamarin product and is used for cross-platform development, mostly based around .Net (including C#). However I agree that the tags were not relevant to this question, so yes, you are right about that. – cdarke Nov 07 '17 at 09:46
  • First of all thank you everybody for your answers. I've already installed visual studio on my mac, since this is the software we are using at school. But I don't know how to open a new project like we do at class – user8898941 Nov 08 '17 at 06:54

You can use emacs or xcode on the OSX with emacs create a project in c and use gcc

You can't do C development using Visual Studio for Mac. The product is the Xamarin toolset used for .Net cross-platform development only.

Users have requested that C and C++ is added (vote here), so it is possible that it could be added in the future.

Meanwhile, see How to use/install gcc on Mac OS X 10.8 / Xcode 4.4

  • @user8898941: are you learning C? Is your class using Windows? If the answer is "yes" to those questions, then read my answer. Visual Studio on Mac cannot be used for C, but there are other products available. Note that "projects" are only required if you are using an integrated Development Environment like Visual Studio or Xcode, they have nothing to do with C. – cdarke Nov 08 '17 at 07:40
  • Thank you very much my friend – user8898941 Nov 08 '17 at 07:43
