If you’ve backed up your Mac with Time Machine before upgrading to Big Sur, downgrading to Catalina will be easy. Here’s how to downgrade from macOS Big Sur to Catalina using Time Machine. Back up your data. First, back up everything. Your Mac probably contains your personal data and documents that you don’t want to lose. It succeeded Mac OS High Sierra 10.13 which was released on the 25th of September in 2017 and was preceded by the macOS Catalina 10.15 which was released on the 7th of October in 2019. This macOS is known to be the last one developed by Apple to support 32-bit applications as macOS Catalina only supports 64-bit applications. Download Visual Studio Code for macOS. Open the browser's download list and locate the downloaded archive. Select the 'magnifying glass' icon to open the archive in Finder. Drag Visual Studio Code.app to the Applications folder, making it available in the macOS Launchpad.

  • Restart the terminal for the new $PATH value to take effect. You'll be able to type 'code .' in any folder to start editing files in that folder.

Note: If you still have the old code alias in your .bash_profile (or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.

Alternative manual instructions

Instead of running the command above, you can manually add VS Code to your path, to do so run the following commands:

Start a new terminal to pick up your .bash_profile changes.

Note: The leading slash is required to prevent $PATH from expanding during the concatenation. Remove the leading slash if you want to run the export command directly in a terminal.

Note: Since zsh became the default shell in macOS Catalina, run the following commands to add VS Code to your path:

Touch Bar support

Out of the box VS Code adds actions to navigate in editor history as well as the full Debug tool bar to control the debugger on your Touch Bar:

Mojave privacy protections

After upgrading to macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave and is not specific to VS Code. The same dialogs may be displayed when running other applications as well. The dialog is shown once for each type of personal data and it is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders. You can read a more detailed explanation in this blog post.

Updates

VS Code ships monthly releases and supports auto-update when a new release is available. If you're prompted by VS Code, accept the newest update and it will get installed (you won't need to do anything else to get the latest bits).

Note: You can disable auto-update if you prefer to update VS Code on your own schedule.

Preferences menu

You can configure VS Code through settings, color themes, and custom keybindings available through the Code > Preferences menu group.

You may see mention of File > Preferences in documentation, which is the Preferences menu group location on Windows and Linux. On a macOS, the Preferences menu group is under Code, not File.

Next steps

Once you have installed VS Code, these topics will help you learn more about VS Code:

  • Additional Components - Learn how to install Git, Node.js, TypeScript, and tools like Yeoman.
  • User Interface - A quick orientation around VS Code.
  • User/Workspace Settings - Learn how to configure VS Code to your preferences settings.

Common questions

Why do I see 'Visual Studio Code would like access to your calendar.'

If you are running macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave discussed above. It is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders.

VS Code fails to update

If VS Code doesn't update once it restarts, it might be set under quarantine by macOS. Follow the steps in this issue for resolution.

Does VS Code run on Mac M1 machines?

Yes, VS Code supports macOS ARM64 builds that can run on Macs with the Apple M1 chip. You can install the Universal build, which includes both Intel and Apple Silicon builds, or one of the platform specific builds.

This documentation explains the legacy method for deploying and configuring Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on macOS devices. The native experience is now available in the MEM console. The release of the native UI in the MEM console provide admins with a much simpler way to configure and deploy the application and send it down to macOS devices.
The blog post MEM simplifies deployment of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for macOS explains the new features. To configure the app, go to Settings for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac in Microsoft InTune. To deploy the app, go to Add Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to macOS devices using Microsoft Intune.

Download installation and onboarding packages

Download the installation and onboarding packages from Microsoft Defender Security Center:

  1. In Microsoft Defender Security Center, go to Settings > Device Management > Onboarding.

  2. Set the operating system to macOS and the deployment method to Mobile Device Management / Microsoft Intune.

  3. Select Download installation package. Save it as wdav.pkg to a local directory.

  4. Select Download onboarding package. Save it as WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip to the same directory.

  5. Download IntuneAppUtil from https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/lob-apps-macos.

  6. From a command prompt, verify that you have the three files.

  7. Extract the contents of the .zip files:

  8. Make IntuneAppUtil an executable:

  9. Create the wdav.pkg.intunemac package from wdav.pkg:

Client device setup

You don't need any special provisioning for a Mac device beyond a standard Company Portal installation.

  1. Confirm device management.

    Select Open System Preferences, locate Management Profile on the list, and select Approve.... Your Management Profile would be displayed as Verified:

  2. Select Continue and complete the enrollment.

    You may now enroll more devices. You can also enroll them later, after you have finished provisioning system configuration and application packages.

  3. In Intune, open Manage > Devices > All devices. Here you can see your device among those listed:

Approve System Extensions

To approve the system extensions:

  1. In Intune, open Manage > Device configuration. Select Manage > Profiles > Create Profile.

  2. Choose a name for the profile. Change Platform=macOS to Profile type=Extensions. Select Create.

  3. In the Basics tab, give a name to this new profile.

  4. In the Configuration settings tab, add the following entries in the Allowed system extensions section:

    Bundle identifierTeam identifier
    com.microsoft.wdav.epsextUBF8T346G9
    com.microsoft.wdav.netextUBF8T346G9

  5. In the Assignments tab, assign this profile to All Users & All devices.

  6. Review and create this configuration profile.

Create System Configuration profiles

  1. In Intune, open Manage > Device configuration. Select Manage > Profiles > Create Profile.

  2. Choose a name for the profile. Change Platform=macOS to Profile type=Custom. Select Configure.

  3. Open the configuration profile and upload intune/kext.xml. This file was created in one of the preceding sections.

  4. Select OK.

  5. Select Manage > Assignments. In the Include tab, select Assign to All Users & All devices.

  6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for more profiles.

  7. Create another profile, give it a name, and upload the intune/WindowsDefenderATPOnboarding.xml file.

  8. Download fulldisk.mobileconfig from our GitHub repository and save it as tcc.xml. Create another profile, give it any name and upload this file to it.

    Caution

    macOS 10.15 (Catalina) contains new security and privacy enhancements. Beginning with this version, by default, applications are not able to access certain locations on disk (such as Documents, Downloads, Desktop, etc.) without explicit consent. In the absence of this consent, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is not able to fully protect your device.

    This configuration profile grants Full Disk Access to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. If you previously configured Microsoft Defender for Endpoint through Intune, we recommend you update the deployment with this configuration profile.

  9. As part of the Endpoint Detection and Response capabilities, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac inspects socket traffic and reports this information to the Microsoft Defender Security Center portal. The following policy allows the network extension to perform this functionality. Download netfilter.mobileconfig from our GitHub repository, save it as netext.xml and deploy it using the same steps as in the previous sections.

  10. To allow Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac and Microsoft Auto Update to display notifications in UI on macOS 10.15 (Catalina), download notif.mobileconfig from our GitHub repository and import it as a custom payload.

  11. Select Manage > Assignments. In the Include tab, select Assign to All Users & All devices.

Once the Intune changes are propagated to the enrolled devices, you can see them listed under Monitor > Device status:

Publish application

  1. In Intune, open the Manage > Client apps blade. Select Apps > Add.

  2. Select App type=Other/Line-of-business app.

  3. Select file=wdav.pkg.intunemac. Select OK to upload.

  4. Select Configure and add the required information.

  5. Use macOS High Sierra 10.14 as the minimum OS.

  6. Set Ignore app version to Yes. Other settings can be any arbitrary value.

    Caution

    Setting Ignore app version to No impacts the ability of the application to receive updates through Microsoft AutoUpdate. See Deploy updates for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac for additional information about how the product is updated.

    If the version uploaded by Intune is lower than the version on the device, then the lower version will be installed, effectively downgrading Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. This could result in a non-functioning application. See Deploy updates for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Mac for additional information about how the product is updated. If you deployed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with Ignore app version set to No, please change it to Yes. If Microsoft Defender for Endpoint still cannot be installed on a client device, then uninstall Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and push the updated policy.

  7. Select OK and Add.

  8. It may take a few moments to upload the package. After it's done, select the package from the list and go to Assignments and Add group.

  9. Change Assignment type to Required.

  10. Select Included Groups. Select Make this app required for all devices=Yes. Select Select group to include and add a group that contains the users you want to target. Select OK and Save.

  11. After some time the application will be published to all enrolled devices. You can see it listed in Monitor > Device, under Device install status:

Verify client device state

  1. After the configuration profiles are deployed to your devices, open System Preferences > Profiles on your Mac device.


  2. Verify that the following configuration profiles are present and installed. The Management Profile should be the Intune system profile. Wdav-config and wdav-kext are system configuration profiles that were added in Intune:
