Visual Studio for Mac is an IDE solely for .NET development.

If one looks at the Visual Studio website, it provides a comparison of the Mac and PC versions of Visual Studio. C++ development is not available for Visual Studio 2022 for Mac.

However, there exist many IDEs that support C++ development on Mac. Apple's very own Xcode allows the creation of C++ projects, as well as Visual Studio Code, a highly extensible code editor. CodeBlocks and CLion also exist as C++ IDEs for macOS.
