I new for Qt and Visual Studio,I want install Qt add_in for Visual studio for Mac ,but when I download Qt Visual Studio Tools from : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TheQtCompany.QtVisualStudioTools-19123 , and double-click it, it show 'Safari can’t open the file “qt-vsaddin-msvc2017-2.1.1-beta-10.03.2017.vsix” because no available application can open it.' , that it's meaning qt add_in can't use in Visual studio for Mac? thanks

Hi,

I might be wrong but I think that Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio are two different products which explains what you are experiencing.

What exactly did you install on your mac ?

[Chris Kawa]

Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio Code are three separate products that have very little to do with each other (apart from very confusing branding typical for Microsoft).
Qt Visual Studio Tools is an extension for Visual Studio (the Windows one) and is not compatible with either Visual Studio for Mac or Visual Studio Code.

@Chris-Kawa thanks, I know now

Is there any plan to offer QT VS Tools for Visual Studio Mac?

@Taytoo That you should ask on developers mailing list. This is user forum.
