Can I install Visual Studio Code on an iPad ?
Hi I am trying to install Visual Studio Code on my 12" iPad Pro - so there is pleanty of poke there. I find the Visual Studio Code downloads and I click on Down Load for Mac and I get a zip file...
You can't as far as I'm aware. The iPad is just a tablet. Despite what Apple tells you, it isn't yet a full laptop replacement. So unless it's in the App Store, you won't be able to install it. There was a proposal last year which doesn't look like it went anywhere: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10928
Hello, I think its not about "tablet / full PC / laptop". I used the Visual Studio (latest one was VS 2015 Standard) on my Toshiba Encore W8 tablet and its worked without any bigger problems (yes it was slower but still usable)
I think Nigel could have a problem with operating system because Microsoft accepts just two of them:
macOS Sierra 10.12: Community, Professional, and Enterprise.
Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11: Community, Professional, and Enterprise*.
BUT here:
Nigel download the zip file and now he is not able unpack the ZIP then ... I will be nice :) https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25411?locale=en_US
