As title suggests i cannot see any cloud functions in VS Mac. I have reinstalled many times, clean installs, redone dotnet core 3 and 5. I can see the functions plug in within vs mac.
I do have azure functions in VS Code for Mac
But i cannot see why i cannot get them in Visual Studio Mac - i cannot see how or where these are installed. I have all the other ones, just the cloud category is missing.
This is the very latest version of studio. Stable or Preview.
Any ideas?
thanks
Paul
Only the azure function template is available under cloud extensions; other templates can be found in other panes such as web and console, multi platform, iOS, Android, and so on. In Vistual studio mac, you may even create your own templates. More information can be found HERE.
While we're on the subject of Azure templates, you can learn more about them here Azure - Visual Studio for Mac | Microsoft Docs.

I don't see the option to create an Azure function class library template in new projects under Visual Studio Mac. If I created one manually - what files do I need to include and what framework target should I use for the library? .net core or .net standard or something custom?
Alternatively - if I use a CSX script file instead, how would I debug that on a mac?
Azure Functions support for Visual Studio for Mac is available in the alpha channel, so you need to switch to that in order to use this functionality.
The tooling there is similar to what is available for Visual Studio 2015, supporting CSX based projects (as opposed to pre-compiled, class library projects) and giving you a local run/debug experience.
In Visual Studio Mac 7.2 this feature was moved into an extension. Just open the extension manager - search for "functions" and you can install that feature again.
We are looking for a way to do development of Azure functions inside of VS2017. Any Ideas?
The tooling for Visual Studio 2017 is still under development. You can track the current status in this github issue.
UPDATE: The Preview of Visual Studio 2017 Tools for Azure Functions are now available for download. The blog post explains the tools, requirements, and has a link to the download. Note that it only works in VS 15.3 Preview, not in earlier versions.
Personally, I prefer to develop precompiled functions and publish as a web application.
You can get some helpful intellisense for host.json and function.json by using the json schemas http://json.schemastore.org/function & http://json.schemastore.org/host
I need to deploy an Azure WebJob and tried to follow this article. Is this supposed to work in Visual Studio 2017? I have none of the mentioned context menu entries (tried two different machines).
I have none of the mentioned context menu entries (tried two different machines).
What type of project did you create? Until now, we could see the [Publish as Azure WebJob…] context menu when we create a Console App(.NET Framework) in Visual Studio 2017.
You also need to check whether you have checked the Azure Development option when you install your Visual Studio 2017. If you did not do that, you could re-run the Visual Studio 2017 install exe file to update your Visual Studio 2017.
If your project type is Console App(.NET Core), the publish function is not available until now.
No.
WebJobs deployment features are available in Visual Studio 2015 when you install the Azure SDK for .NET.
It's not yet available in VS2017.
EDIT: See post below.
I'm having trouble getting started with PhoneGap on windows 8, VS 2012, namely:
I don't know how to install the templates
I open the template projects I've downloaded from PhoneGap, but they are in compatible with VS2012
I don't know where to start in respect to creating my first simple CRUD application
I want to connect to a WCF API and make some calls
How to publish the result allowing installation on many devices:
I mainly want to use iPhone and Android devices
How do I get started with PhoneGap?
#Smithy, Microsoft just made it possible to develop Cordova apps with Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
Its just a preview as far as I understand, but go have a look.
If you have the latest version of Visual Studio installed, you need to go to Microsoft'd download page and download the installer:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42675
This comes along with documentation on how to get started and how to install and set it up in VS 2013.
Good luck.
UPDATE:
With the release of Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition along with Update 4, MS has made it easier than ever to create Cordova project....and best thing of all is it's FREE!!!!
Benefit is that if your used to VS like me, this is a comfortable environment, and its super easy to get started.
To get access to these templates, follow the steps when creating a new project in VS, and you will be prompted to install additional software, including but not limited to SDK Manager, adt, iTunes, emulators etc..
After these are installed, it is now simple to create projects, edit and run them in the included RIPPLE emulator.
These projects can also in addition be deployed to your device from VS.
To check if your device is picked up on your PC, open a cmd and run "adb devices" to see if your device is picked up on your PC and a list of connected devices.
Easy, effective and it works. From, see link on terms of use and limitations in organisations: Free Dev Tools

Q: Who can use Visual Studio Community?
A: Here’s how individual developers can use Visual Studio Community:
Any individual developer can use Visual Studio Community to create their own free or paid apps.
Here’s how Visual Studio Community can be used in organizations:
An unlimited number of users within an organization can use Visual Studio Community for the following scenarios: in a classroom learning environment, for academic research, or for contributing to open source projects.
For all other usage scenarios: In non-enterprise organizations, up to 5 users can use Visual Studio Community. In enterprise organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or > $1 Million US Dollars in annual revenue), no use is permitted beyond the open source, academic research, and classroom learning environment scenarios described above.
Thanks Microsoft!
You can use VS to edit the html, css, and javascript files, but I don't believe there are any VS project templates available. At least I've never seen any.
But, you won't be able to compile and deploy. The templates for Android for instance are eclipse project templates since phonegap is building a java application in order to deploy to android.
If you want to develop for android, follow the getting started guide from Phonegap ( I can't get you a link right now due to firewall issues). The files you put in the www folder will be the html, css, and javascript files for your project and you can use anything you want to edit them, including VS.
You can create PhoneGap application using
Cordova vs plugin
Telerik App Builder

You may also want to refer to this post that describes how to use Phonegap projects in the new Multi-Device Hybrid Apps that uses Cordova integration in VS - https://stackoverflow.com/a/23621633/1277291
RedGate has a product called Nomad which integrates beautifully with Visual Studio 2013.
It makes use of the PhoneGap Build cloud service. With this approach you don't need all the platform SDK's on your system. Works very well.
See this video. Unfortunately RedGate recently stopped supporting Nomad. I'm hoping Microsoft's new offering will offer similar capability.
I've been trying to get the .NET Dev Kit and Azure SDK to work with Visual Studio 2012 and am not having much luck. What am I missing?
The Azure SDK installation instructions don't work on VS 2012. When I search for anything Intuit-related from the VS Extension Manager, nothing comes up.
I tried installing from the VS Gallery but then there's no Intuit Anywhere menu in VS as shown in the VS 2010 screen shot. (These instructions are highly suspect, since Intuit has moved away from the "Intuit Anywhere" name. But given that the developer site was overhauled recently I would expect the instructions to be up to date.)
Is there an easy way to get this to work with VS 2012, or am I wasting my time? Am I better off just building everything from scratch? (We have done that in another project, just not with Azure.)
The Plugin for Visual Studio has not been updated for Visual Studio 2012, the last supported version is 2010.
The code that the plugin generates is available as templates and sample code as well.
It includes the Oauth grant and handler pages, as well as the OpenId handlers.
