Great news!
Installed it and tried a little bit. Seems to work pretty well, as I can create projects, build applications, flash and debug.
However, I faced some issues with the build process and created a new ticket in the forum.

Excellent quick response from Nordic Semi Support Engineering. Thank you Vidar for the workaround, for my nRF Connect for VS Code issue on macOS.

Hopefully, the next nRF Connect extension release will have a proper fix.

On macOS (11.6, 10.13.6, and 10.14.6), the nRF Connect extension attempted to select PyOCD when it sees that a J-link (e.g. Segger J-Link Edu Mini) is already connected. The workaround was to modify the board.cmake (in my case, particle_xenon) in the Zephyr directory in order for the nRF Connect to flash. The include with nrfjprog had to be made the default runner by moving it to the top of the includes.

Now, I’m able to build and flash programs to my nRF52840 particle_xenon boards without any issues. Awesome!

The nRF Connect for VS Code environment is turning out to be superb. I’m certain that as new features get added and the extensions made more robust, we’ll have an excellent dev environment. So many things to checkout with nRF Connect, including testing out debug functionality.

Once more, kudos to Nordic Semi for the excellent nRF Connect for VS Code and their highly professional Support Engineering.

Currently, under macOS 10.16, I can create a new project and build it without any issues. However, none of my nRF52840 boards appear under the CONNECTED DEVICES tab and therefore cannot flash the programs.

When I run the nRF Terminal, nRF Connect/VSC sees the nrf52840 board and I can connect to it. The VSC status bar acknowledges the connect but nothing appears under the CONNECTED DEVICES tab.

It looks like the nRF Connect extension under macOS isn’t quite working yet. It would be great to get a fix, as the nRF Connect for VSC looks excellent and very promising for the future. Thank you.

Great extension! I was using VSC for coding and SES for debug only. And now I can use VSC to as the only IDE.

Does this have any requirements for nRF Connect SDK version? I'm using both v1.4.2 and v1.5.0 on two projects.

This is what I'm looking for. Tested on windows 10 and worked nicely.
In MacOS I can create new project and build correctly but it can't detect nrf52832 development board.
How to make it work?
