Instructions incorrect for latest visual studio mac

[codegrue]

For example: I believe "Add-Ins" is now called "Extensions..." and I was unable to find the "Alpha Channel Add-ins" items, and thus neither this editor.

This was published in the Xamarin Studio Addin channel. I will need to check why it ins't available in the VS for Mac.

As of today, still not available in VS for Mac

[maxhelskens]

When can we expect this?

[jzeferino]

Guys sorry for the late response. Im a bit busy at the moment so I don't have time to fix this yet.
Feel free to contribute anyway.

@jzeferino is there any chance that this extension will make it's way back into the addin channel for VS for Mac?

[jzeferino]

As I said above, i will try to fix this as soon I have some free time to do it. In the meantime feel free to grab any issue or improve the existing code.

[jzeferino]

Update: I've started the new release and now Im waiting for the http://addins.monodevelop.com/ to make it available but it seems to be problems with it. I've asked some help from @mhutch.

[mhutch]

@jzeferino sorry, the builder is offline. I just enabled the ability to upload an mpack directly for your project.

[jzeferino]

@mhutch thank you. I will test it ASAP.

[Sebastian1989101]

@jzeferino Did you already upload your package? Because even in the alpha channel it is still not available in VS for Mac.

[jzeferino]

@Sebastian1989101 I dind't upload it because I'm having issues building it. I'm waiting for @mhutch feedback.

[mhutch]

@jzeferino the addin server won't build the addin, but you can use "Upload package" to upload a mpack you built locally

[jzeferino]

@mhutch I know I can just upload it, but I'm having trouble build the addin since I updated the addin maker, please see mhutch/MonoDevelop.AddinMaker#58

[EmilAlipiev]

what is the status here? are we able to use it on Vs Mac 2019? if not using add in, can we at least build ourself and use it?

[jzeferino]

You can try to build this and run yourself. If you face some problems please let me know. I'm a bit busy so I can't update this now.

[Kir-Antipov]

It seems like IViewDisplayBinding and ViewContent are missing in MonoDevelop.Ide.Gui nowadays, so project is unbuildable now. Any ideas?

[jzeferino]

Thats something I was expecting, this project needs to be updated its been staled for a while. Do you think you can help?
