I'm currently using Visual Studio 16.7.7 which has Xamarin.iOS 14.2.0.12, and Visual Studio for Mac 8.7.9 with the same Xamarin.iOS version. I'm looking into updating on behalf of my whole development team.

While reviewing release notes, I'm having trouble determining what version of Xamarin.iOS is included in the latest Visual Studio. I see this line in the Xamarin.iOS 14.4 release notes:

This version is included in Visual Studio d16-8 Preview 6

but that doesn't necessarily confirm that's the version included with the stable releases of 16.8.

Just by lining release dates, it looks like Xamarin.iOS 14.6 came out after Visual Studio 16.8.2, but nowhere in the 16.8 release notes does it seem to say what version of Xamarin.iOS comes bundled with VS. Is there somewhere I can find and confirm this information before upgrading to 16.8?

    Hi @Joe Manke ,

    Thank you for reporting it in Microsoft Q&A.

    At present, the Xamarin.ios 14.4.1.3 is included in Visual Studio 16.8. After updating Visual Studio 2019 to 16.8.2, you could check the version of Xamarin.ios by running your Visual Studio > Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio > Installed products.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
