    Visual studio doesn't show Intellisense for Unity methods found in Assembly Definition.

    Here I want to write an OnCollisionEnter method
    and Visual Studio does autocompletion successfully:

    But if I try to do it in a script that is in Assembly Definition, Intellisense will not see Unity methods:

    How to fix this?

    This may help you with intellisense and possibly other Visual Studio integration problems:

    Sometimes the fix is as simple as doing Assets -> Open C# Project from Unity. Other times it requires more.

    Also, try update the VSCode package inside of Unity: Window -> Package Manager -> Search for Visual Studio Code Editor -> Press the Update button

    Solution: From Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Options ... -> Tools for Unity -> Other. Under Show connectivity icon, set it to true then restart Visual Studio.

    After that, click in the upper left corner where the dll name is located:


    Change to else:

    it works!

    I agree, don't see it either. Can't get a fix for it too. I Switched over to the Script Inspector Asset for now. It is not ideal but I had the asset (Script Inspector 3)

    I think either the new version of Visual Studio Mac or Unity is broken. I have the same problem and can't find a solution.

    Have to go into Unity...

    Check that Visual Studio is set as your external script editor in Unity using Edit / Preferences / External Tools . Depending on your Unity version: Check that the Visual Studio plugin is installed in Unity. Help / About should display a message like Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Unity is enabled at the bottom.

    Worked for my with VS2022.
