I have installed Xamarin program and still says that i need to install Xamarin for start ios project. I don't know what to do so i hope you guys can help me fix the problem.
Here is image of the problem
You said that you installed the "Xamarin program", but what exactly did you install? I cannot tell from your screenshot if you are using Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015, but...
If you are using Visual Studio 2013, you will need to use the Xamarin Universal Installer(Just input your information and the file will be available to download).
If you are using Visual Studio 2015, then you can install Xamarin directly from within the Visual Studio 2015 installer window. Using Microsoft's guide from here you can:
...open Control Panel > Programs and Features, choose the Visual Studio 2015 item, and click Change. When the installer opens, click Modify
Check the following boxes:
Cross-Platform Mobile Development > C#/.NET (Xamarin)
For Windows 8+: Cross-Platform Mobile Development > Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android
(Optional) If you plan on targeting Windows devices, also check Windows and Web Development > Universal Windows App Development Tools and/or Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools
Click the Install button
Once installation is complete... check for Xamarin updates through Tools > Options > Xamarin or Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other, where you’ll find a Check Now

I am unable to find Microsoft's new development platform WinUI3 in visual studio. Should I install any components or something bug in my VS?
You need to install the correct workload as described here:
Required workloads and components While installing Visual Studio 2022
or 2019, select the following workloads and components.
On the Workloads tab of the installation dialog, select:
Universal Windows Platform development .NET Desktop Development
Desktop development with C++ On the Individual components tab of the
installation dialog, make sure Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0) is
selected in the SDKs, libraries, and frameworks section.
In the Installation details pane of the installation dialog, make sure
C++ (v142) Universal Windows Platform tools is selected in the
Universal Windows Platform development section:
You also have to:
Install the Windows App SDK extension for Visual Studio (VSIX)
The Windows App SDK includes project and item templates for creating and developing WinUI 3 apps. These project templates are available as Visual Studio extensions (VSIX) for Visual Studio 2022 / 2019.
In the Visual Studio Installer under "Workloads / Installation details" at the right side, enable:
".NET desktop development" > "Windows App SDK C# Templates"
"Desktop development with C++" > "Windows App SDK C++ Templates"
All other required features will be selected automatically.
I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2017 with Xamarin using its online installer. But when I tick "Mobile development with .NET" under Workloads it selects an Android SDK setup as well. If I try to untick it (Android SDK setup) then Xamarin will also be unticked.
How can I install only Xamarin without any Android SDKs for Visual Studio 2017?
If you are freshly installing Visual Studio 2017, rather than checking Mobile development with .NET under Workloads you have to tick Xamarin under Individual Components in the installer window.
If you had already installed Visual Studio 17 without Xamarin, then go to,
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and click on Change. In the appeared Window, select Modify under your specific Visual Studio version listed.
Go to the Individual components tab, now you can select only Xamarin and no other components will be attached to it.
This was my selections under Individual Components to install Xamarin without android. The Green Ticks would be a sufficiently enough selection.
I have a Xamarin project developed in iOS MAC. I want to continue the development of the same project on Xamarin Studio but on Windows. Is this possible?
Yes you can, keep in mind that when you're downloading Xamarin at windows it always force you to download a visual studio with Xamarin being a plugin (now they're introducing visual studio for Mac too!). if you're insisting to use Xamarin studio on windows go on to your account on Xamarin rather than using the default download button, and see all the version that can be downloaded. Xamarin studio for windows should still be there
You can open an Android project in Xamarin Studio on OSX or Windows. An iOS app will not open in Xamarin Studio on Windows; it has to be opened in Visual Studio. On Windows, Visual Studio should be used over Xamarin Studio.
I am trying to install Xamarin on my PC. I have downloaded Xamarin Studio but am not able to get it to work with Visual Studio 2015.
You'll need to download Xamarin for Visual Studio, not just Xamarin Studio.
You should be able to get the Xamarin for Visual Studio installer via your Xamarin account here: https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads
Click the Hide all versions link under the blue button, then pick one of the Windows links under Xamarin.iOS or Xamarin.Android to download the installer you need.
Once you install that, you should be ready to work in Visual Studio.
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.
