Known Issues
Visual Studio For Mac Visual Basic
The following is a list of all existing known issues in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac version 8.9:
- After installing the latest .NET 5 SDK, developers of .NET Core 3.1 apps might see an error indicating 'The ASP.NET Core developer certificate is in an invalid state.'. Running
dotnet dev-certs https --clean
thendotnet dev-certs https --trust
from the Terminal will fix the issue. - In rare cases, it's possible to be up to date with everything but the .NET Core 3.1.300 SDK. If you enter into this configuration and update to .NET Core 3.1.300 using the updater, the notification to update the .NET Core SDK will not disappear until the IDE is restarted.
- If you're already on Big Sur beta and can't use the updater, visit the Visual Studio for Mac website and download the installer.
