Need lower version of visual studio for mac

Question

I just want to download a lower version of Visual Studio for Mac. The current version is 7.5.1 and I want to download 7.4.3.

Can anyone tell me where can I get that download file or link?

Answer 1

From some guesswork I found it by using this URL : https://dl.xamarin.com/VsMac/VisualStudioForMac-7.4.2.12.dmg

Not installed it tho.

From this, comment on the 9th May link seems like you have to open a support ticket?!?!

As an update on this topic, all of the recent previous Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.Mac packages are available in the archives on the open source continuous builds server (under the Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.MaciOS tabs). And the Mono Framework MDK is similarly available in the Mono Project download archive. I have now updated the 15.7 Release Xamarin Release Blog post to provide the links to those locations. In many cases, the latest version of Visual Studio for Mac will be backwards compatible with previous versions of the Xamarin SDKs, so you can in many cases just install those earlier Xamarin SDK versions over the current versions and leave Visual Studio for Mac and Mono Framework MDK at the latest.

If you do need to get an older version of Visual Studio for Mac itself, the best option at this time is still to create a support incident to request the version you'd like. The updated info for creating a Visual Studio for Mac support incident is to go to Technical Support > Product: Visual Studio > Assisted Support on https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/support/ and then select Visual Studio Community/Professional/Enterprise 2017 for Mac.

I used to download previous releases from my Xamarin account page which now doesn't seem to exist anymore.

At the moment, the direct link to the old downloads page (https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads) is not yet set to redirect, so it is still possible to access that page, but indeed that page is considered deprecated in favor of the open source continuous builds archive at this time, and the previous versions provided on that page are from the earlier Xamarin 15.5 Release rather than the Xamarin 15.6 Release.

You could also look for versions listed at the brew repository.

Use the url pattern https://dl.xamarin.com/VsMac/VisualStudioForMac-{version}.dmg.
