So I installed Visual studio 2017 Community 15.5.4 and I added Xamarin workload as specified in this link. I also added other workloads that I would need with that.
However, Xamarin is not being added. When I open the "About Microsoft Visual Studio" to check the installed products, Xamarin is not there, even though I double checked the installer, and the Xamarin workload is selected.
I deleted VS multiple times and re-installed it, but to no avail.
What should I do to fix this? I'm out of ideas.
I downloaded latest visual studio 2017 and I have chosen Xamarin while installing it and I already have visual studio 2015 with Xamarin and I was able to develop visual studio Xamarin.winphone along with Xamarin.ios and Xamarin.Droid.
I am aware winphone is deprecated in visual studio 2017 and I thought to develop Xamarin.uwp by migrating all my winphone code uwp.
But When I create a new Xamarin native project I am not able to find Xamarin.uwp but I can find Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Droid.
Here is the screenshot
What could have gone wrong ?
Please check if you have installed Windows 10 SDK. The following is check steps.
Enter the “Visual Studio Installer” in the conrtana search box.
Click the modify button in the window of Visual Studio Installer.
Select the version you need to install.
I have installed Xamarin studio for mac today.
I have seen an ad for Visual Studio for Mac preview.
I do not understand what are the difference between those 2 products...
Thanks
Like #SushiHangover told, Xamarin Studio will be replaced by Visual Studio.
If you access the xamarin's page today (https://developer.xamarin.com/releases/studio/xamarin.studio_6.3/xamarin.studio_6.3/), you will se the alert:
Update for May 10, 2017: Xamarin Studio 6.3 is the final release of
Xamarin Studio. We recommend that developers now use Visual Studio on
both Windows and Mac. Visual Studio for Mac has all the features of
Xamarin Studio, adds cloud and web development, and contains
improvements for cross-platform mobile development.
and this one...
Visual Studio for Mac is replacing Xamarin Studio
Xamarin is a company that was founded in 2011 by engineers that created mono framework.
On early 2016 Xamarin and Microsoft announced that Microsoft signed a definitive agreement to acquire Xamarin. The acquisition value was something between $400 and $500 millions.
More information at wikipedia. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xamarin)
We watched a Xamarin installation video by Jason D, downloaded XamarinInstaller.exe version3.6 and ran it. We noticed that unlike the video, we are only seeing the Andriod SDK and the Xamarin for Visual Studio components in our options and missing the GTK# and Xamarin Studio. The install finished successfully so we don't know whether we have everything we need or not.
The reason we think this is because when we launch VS, we don't see any Xamarin.Forms type projects, for example.
Can someone tell us if we may be missing some pieces?
Thanks in advance for any help.
1.- Remove all
2.- instal VisualStudio 2015
3.- run xamarin installer
Did you installed the extension correctly that binds xamarin with visual studio?
Open Control Panel > Programs, search for your edition of Visual Studio and then click the Change/Uninstall button at the top of the window. Wait for a moment while the Visual Studio Installer launches, and then repair the installation.
Updated: I have followed the below steps for Visual studio 2015. Hope that it will work for other versions of Visual studio.
To install Xamarin framework into Visual studio successfully, please follow the below steps,
Visual studio 2015 community edition installation:
To download VS2015 Community edition ISO (Size is around 7GB), check
http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/2015/07/download-visualstudio-2015.html
To install VS2015 Community edition, please follow the below link, http://www.howtosolutions.net/2015/08/solving-installation-is-stuck-problem-in-visual-studio-community-edition/
Offline installation would be more faster (around 1 to 2 hours).
If any further issue comes, repair MS Visual C++ 2015 redistributable.
Finally, VS 2015 will be installed quickly.
Xamarin framework Installation:
To download Xamarin, visit https://www.xamarin.com/download
You can download Xamarin Installer.
Launch Xamarin installer, it will download and install the below components,
Java 8.
Android SDK, NDK and emulator images.
Xamarin Framework.
To store the setup of components, launch Xamarin installer and while it starts downloading, disconnect internet.
It will abort and open Manual installation instructions. Connect to internet again and you can save setup.exe for all components from manual wizard and install it for later purpose.
After Xamarin is installed, launch Visual studio 2015.
You can create Xamarin projects, under Visual C# -> Cross platform option.
Revert back for queries, if any.
I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional and would like to know how/what should I download from the Xamarin website to integrate into VS 2015 Pro to develop Android apps with Xamarin.
Just download the universal installer from their website
During Visual Studio installation, you have the option to select C#/.NET(Xamarin) under Cross-Platform Development.
You can Modify/Repair the Visual Studio install and select Xamarin and any other components (e.g. Android SDK if it was not selected previously, although they can also be installed separately) and update the installation. Install details/reference here
