Visual Studio won't autocomplete for Unity 2019 project

I use VS for Mac, and when I use Hub to make a 2019 project, VS doesn't do autocomplete, but Unity 2018 projects work just fine.

I've googled a bunch around it and haven't found why yet... Anyone?

    Just to confirm, you're using Visual Studio 2019 for Mac, or Visual Studio Code?
  • TuismTuism
    Visual Studio for Mac Community v8.2.6 (build 26)

    @Tuism which version of C# and dotnet is the 2019 project using? I believe 2019 was the first version of Unity that made the latest C# version the default.

    @NickCuthbert where do you check for version of C# and dotnet in Unity? I checked in preferences/External Tools and don't see it there. Under build settings > player settings > other settings there is "api compatibility level" set to .NET standard 2.0, but I doubt that's what you're asking a?bout

    @Tuism Oh just checked. The api compatility level is part of it. They seemed to have removed the option to drop down to a lower version of C#. Might be worth a try reinstalling the latest version of VS for Mac, it's likely that you've got a missing SDK.

    Okay I'm busy with VS updates, it's huge. I turned auto update off because it would keep updating in the background and completely wreck my connectivity. ALL the time.

    For reference, this is an example of what I see when editing with a 2018 file:

    And with a 2019 file:

    On your 2019 Editor go to Assets in the menu , under assets menu go all the way down and click on Open C# project .
    Then just double click on the .sln file it will open preload all the classes .
