Visual Studio 2022 installation in Parallels Desktop for Apple Silicon (M1) Mac

I have MacBook Air (M1, 2020) with Apple M1 Chip and I am using Parallel desktop with ARM based Windows 11.
I installed Visual studio 2022 for .Net development in parallels desktop.
But it shows like visual studio not supported by ARM based processor.
I installed .Net Framework v4.6.1 and v4.7 as per the "Project targeted Framework Not Installed" notification. After that I am repeatedly getting 'unloaded' and 'failed to load' project inside solution explorer when each time, I try to load the project.
Also tried to install intel based windows in parallels it shows like it is not supported in an ARM based processor.

Is it possible to use Visual studio 2022 inside parallels based on a MacBook Air with Apple M1 Chip.

Can anyone suggest solutions

 

Any idea ?

 

Fortunately MS is finally starting to make an ARM version visual studio 2022. See this discussion: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/native-arm-support-for-visual-studio/1161018

 

Do you know if VS ARM native would still allow building of x64 binaries? That would be useful for me.

 

Just install the .net framework 4.61 and 4.7 targeting frameworks. They should work fine. The warning you speak of is just telling you it isn't designed to work on Arm, but I have been using it fine for over a month. The only thing not working for me is localDB migrations when attempting to migrate to the localdb (have to use 32 bit SQL server 2014 or a dev server located on another machine). I had some old .net 4.6 full framework projects and they ran fine, but I needed up must upgrade to 4.8. I did try the Arm Visual Studio Preview, but for me I couldn't get IIS express to work on it so ended up going back to the other version since it rans faster than my intel VM did anyway

 

Guys, I am planning to buy an M2 mac book pro, but I am 100% windows developer and I am using visual studio for my development before I was having intel base mac, I was using windows and mac os both and all was so good, anyone who is professionally developing apps in visual studio in m1 or m2 mac with parallel can you guys help me ? should i go for m1/m2 with parallel ?

 

I work on a professional .Net x86 based application, and all our code is built on my M2 Mac Book Air (24GB RAM, 2TB SSD) under Parallels. It's probably slower than a native Intel Parallels, slow sometimes, but very doable. I prefer working on a Mac, all my web browsing, office apps is all done on the Mac side. But dev is all on Windows 11 ARM, with VS 2019. 2019 seems to run better for me, 2022 is slower, and has other problems (IIS related, unable to create virtual directories, it seems).

I did check out VS 2022 again last night, but it still seems to be an Intel application, I thought they were doing a Native ARM version?

 

Thanks for your response @JamesG36 , but I heard VS 17.5 which is the latest version is supporting ARM? can you check if you have a mac with m1 or m2?
