\*\* You can install the **Mobile development with C++** workload in the installer for Visual Studio 2017 and later. In Visual Studio 2015 setup, choose the optional **Visual C++ for Cross Platform Mobile Development** component to target iOS or Android platforms. For instructions, see [Install Visual C++ for Cross-Platform Mobile Development](/visualstudio/cross-platform/install-visual-cpp-for-cross-platform-mobile-development). To build iOS code, you must have a Mac computer and meet other requirements. For a list of prerequisites and installation instructions, see [Install And Configure Tools to Build using iOS](/visualstudio/cross-platform/install-and-configure-tools-to-build-using-ios). You can build x86 or ARM code to match the target hardware. Use x86 configurations to build for the iOS simulator, Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android, and some Android devices. Use ARM configurations to build for iOS devices and most Android devices.

The Visual C++ Redistributable installs Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries. These libraries are required by many applications built by using Microsoft C and C++ tools. If your app uses those libraries, a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package must be installed on the target system before you install your app. The Redistributable package architecture must match your app's target architecture. The Redistributable version must be at least as recent as the MSVC build toolset used to build your app. We recommend you use the latest Redistributable available for your version of Visual Studio, with some exceptions noted below.

- Visual Studio versions since Visual Studio 2015 share the same redistributable files. For example, the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable can be used by apps built using the Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, or 2022 toolsets. However, the version of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable installed on the machine must be the same or higher than the version of the Visual C++ toolset used to create your application. For more information about which version of the Redistributable to install, see [Determining Which DLLs to Redistribute](determining-which-dlls-to-redistribute.md).
