xamarin visual studio 2015 cross platform add devices

The Android project is selected as the Start-up project, but the first problem occurs.Ī message box stating, “There were deployment errors. Getting the Android project up and running Now my normal inclination is to press the Run button and see what happens… A UWP/Universal Windows targeted project.

Portable class library – uses for the shared/portable code.

The project template supplies the following Visual Studio asks me to choose the target and minimum platform versions for my Universal Windows application – I leave the defaults and press OK. I named the project XamarinTest1, obviously name yours whatever you like, but I may refer to this project name within this post. I wanted to jump straight into trying out a Cross-Platform Xamarin.Forms project, so from New Project select Cross-Platform, then Blank App (Xamarin.Forms Portable).

On the Mac I’m running El Capitan and Xamarin Studio Community edition version 5.10.3 (build 51).

This version of Visual Studio includes the Xamarin integration.

Visual Studio Professional 2015 (version 3.00 Update 2) on Windows 10.

So I’m going to begin by stating what versions I’m using I’m going to go through a few of the issues I found getting started with the Visual Studio integration and hopefully provide solutions and where I can I shall detail how I got everything up and running (assuming I actually do get everything up and running). Unfortunately things didn’t “just work” out of the box. Now with Microsoft’s purchase of Xamarin I’ve finally got access to Xamarin’s Visual Studio integrations which also means I can target more platforms in a single solution. I’ve used Xamarin Studio in the past, which is a nice enough environment, but I’ve far more experience with Visual Studio as well as having all my dev tools integrated with it (such as Resharper).
