Thanks for the responses.

Visual Studio for Mac does not have .NET framework version 4.5.2...

It only has .NET standard framework 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0

I believe only 4.5.2 works for plugins?

Hi,

It seems you have to install extra things called Mono.

But even you can get the 4.5 framework, I am not sure whether you can build a plugin or not.

Hi

I don't think you will be able to build a plugin from Mac. Visual studio on Mac can build. Net core dlls targeting .Net standard or older mono but won't be able to build a Full .Net dll to deploy to CRM. CRM DOES not support .Net core or mono yet.

Hope this helps
