Lyalin, the download links seems to be broken? Tried with multiple browsers now, no download is starting :( https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-st...

Worked after 10 tries or so. Just keep clicking retry

Thanks, got the vs_Community.exe after a bunch of tries.

Where did the ISO:s go? Please give us something with a known hash. I attempted to create the offline installer [1] but the vs_community.exe just silently quit after some mintues, having downloaded only some certificates. The custom download idea is easily planted with malware and all those bad things. Also, please consider upgrading from SHA-1. > We understand that a lot of customers want an offline installer for Vi…

Due to licensing complexity of today's installer we just can't make the ISO for you but in the link above as you pointed out you can create your own. We're sorry for that but its what we can offer today.

Okay, well. Will MSDN subscribers get iso's eventually?

It seems also to be broken, or your servers are choked :-(

The perceived performance might not be necessarily only due to Visual Studio itself. Could also have to do with the filesystem in newer versions of Windows (file operations seem slower in modern versions), the shell, background services and other characteristics of the OS.

I help launch products here at Microsoft and run developer events (including this launch) but at heart and for 18+ years I'm a developer first, and I can totally relate to what you mean in terms of everything being part of the bigger story that matters. I am very biased so don't listen to me lol, but I do think Windows 10 and the various developer tools release we've done over the last few years have really pushed th…

Well, in fairness, it is a very solid product.

I haven't quantifiably measured the time that each operation takes, so I might be biased to some extent.

Very cool that their "Mobile Center" SDK has React Native support. [0]

This looks very feature competitive with the "AWS Mobile Hub", even going beyond it with its CI app build integration with GitHub and device simulators!

Also, although they announced Amazon Pinpoint in December, there is still no support for it in their "beta" React Native Mobile SDK [0] (Which has had no commits in 5 months)

We also have a new video on Mobile Center if you're interested, we just released it as part of launch event:

Demand is very high but honestly I'm not 100% aware of MSDN Subscriber ISO status. I will report this comment to that team though

I'm curious if CodePush[0] can be used along side (or integrated into) Mobile Center.

That seems like a no-brainer if you are supporting React Native based apps.

Also, I didn't see any support for platform native Notification APIs for React Native. The current notification service is for pure-JS / Cordova[1]

It's not GA yet (only Visual Studio 2017 for Windows is GA today) but we have shipped an update so Visual Studio for Mac Preview 4 is now available. Details: https://blog.xamarin.com/better-apps-visual-studio-2017/

So this is full, 100% Visual Studio for Mac (soonish), or is it Xamarin Studio rebranded?

It's probably easier to invent AI singularity than to port VS.
