I wish to open multiple instances of VS for Mac. I used to be able to do this with Xamarin studio using the Xamarin launcher.
How to do this with VS for Mac?

Trying to use the Finder to open multiple instances of an application on Mac OS X will simply cause the first instance to come to the foreground. To get around this, use the open command from the command line with the -n option. The -n option opens a new instance of the application even if one is already running.
Just right click on the Visual Studio icon and then select "New Window" from the contextual toolbar that appears on the bottom in Windows 8. A new instance of Visual Studio will launch and then you can open your second project.
If you are using Windows, just hit Ctrl + Shift + N. If you are on a Mac, just press Command + Shift + N.
Open a terminal window, and then issue the following command:
open -n -a "Visual Studio" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
