I have to use an older version of Xamarin.iOS (10.12) because our Mac building server runs on an older version, the problem is that I am not allowed to update the Xamarin.iOS framework on the Mac.

I wasn't able to find older installers for Visual Studio 2017 nor Xamarin. There was also a blog post about the Xamarin Updater but the extension is no longer available.

Is it possible to downgrade Visual Studio 2017 and/or its components and if yes how?

  • Log in to Xamarin.com and you can find download links of older releases. – Lex Li Jan 30 '18 at 17:07
  • Where exactly I can’t find a download page? – Genfood Jan 30 '18 at 17:23
  • Right top corner, your profile -> Dashboard->Downloads under My Account. Then you should see a banner like "Looking for the version before 15.5? Get the previous servicing update of 15.4 here." – Lex Li Jan 30 '18 at 17:25
  • Yes but I am looking for Xamarin.iOS 10.12 releases. This isn’t available there. – Genfood Jan 30 '18 at 17:30
  • You probably can write to Xamarin support. Very likely they don't support that release any more. – Lex Li Jan 30 '18 at 17:30

Visual Studio for Windows
Downgrading Xamarin.iOS to the version 10.12 in Visual Studio means that you need to downgrade VS to the version 15.3.
You need to contact the support team for the download link since they provide only the link for the version N-1.

I'll just leave the links, they may be useful to someone.
For Xamarin Studio:
It's possible, either downloading Xamarin.iOS from here:

https://dl.xamarin.com/MonoTouch/Mac/xamarin.ios-10.12.0.18.pkg

or directly from the repository, which contains every version:

https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/releases
