This article catalogs validated version of the Intel® Compilers integrations into Microsoft Visual Studio* and also our integrations into Apple Xcode*. This lists the compiler releases and updates and show which versions of Visual Studio and Xcode were tested and validated with each release and update of the compilers.

Validated” means that at the time we began building, packaging, and testing our compiler for an upcoming release, these were the versions of Windows and macOS officially released and supported at that point in time, and the supported and released versions of Visual Studio and Xcode available to us at that point in time. With these versions, we ran testing and validated that these versions of Windows and Visual Studio and macOS and Xcode passed our tests and are therefore officially supported.

In the time span between our releases, both Microsoft and Apple release their own updates to their software.  Any updates major, minor or patch, that comes out after our release has the potential to break our compiler or our integrations to Visual Studio or Xcode. This does not happen often but it can occasionally happen. If there is a break in our software due to a Microsoft or Apple update, support for these newer versions will come in a future release of our compiler. The continous daily testing watches for all updates to their OSes and Integrated Development environments. We test both their released and preview versions on a daily basis so that we can maintain functionality of our compilers and compiler integrations. In this way, we can rapidly change our compiler or integrations to work with their continuous change. In addition, we alert our users on our Intel Fortran User Community Forum and/or our Intel DPC++ Community Forum or C/C++ Community Forum to any breakage and, if possible, suggest workarounds while we work with Microsoft or Apple to correct the issue.

Does this mean the Intel Compilers will only work with the versions listed below?  No. Many/most of the updates from Apple or Microsoft after our releases do not break our functionality. However, before you install any updates you should check or ask on Community Forums for any known compatibility issues. This table is what we validated for our releases and believe will work together.
