Your best bet is likely to be Clang using one of the nice cross-platform IDE's like QT Creator, VS Code or CLion (or old school vi, emacs). There is a Visual studio for Mac, but its very different to Windows VS.

XCode is horrendous for iOS dev, let alone D2 dev. TBH, just use bootcamp and dual boot, or VMWare/VirtualBox.
