Could you please any one suggest me better to identify the issue.
Check the settings you find here:
Most likely you need to go to Programs and Change your install for VS 2015 to ensure that you have at least one Android SDK selected.

I am following the Unity development tutorial for Hololens 2.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/develop/unity/unity-development-overview?tabs=mrtk%2Carr%2Chl2
The Unity build generates visual studio files without issues.
When opening with Visual Studio 2019, I do not see a Device target option under targets drop down.
However when I open in Visual Studio 2017, I do see the Device target option.
The visual studio 2019 menu looks completely different from what is in tutorials:
Please see screenshot below:
Visual Studio 2017 is not supposed to work with hololens 2, and when I try to build in VS2017, it gives an error:
MSB8020 The build tools for v142 (Platform Toolset = 'v142') cannot be found.
I tried changing the build tools to 141 and 140 under project properties, but it strangely still gives the same error.
The tutorial states minimum version required is Visual Studio 2019, so it is not supposed to work with an older version.
This is what Visual Studio 2019 is supposed to look like according to tutorial above
I made sure device is connected and is in developer mode. This seems to be something missing in VS2019
Below are all the components I have installed based on the tutorial.
Can anyone help figure out why the Device or Remove Machine options are not showing up under Visual Studio 2019?
I has the same problem, my solution was install all C++ development libraries
and set the UWP project on Visual studio to "Set As Startup Project".
This is becasue the wrong project got set as Default Startup Project, must be changed by right clicking on the correct project and selecting Set as Default Startup Project
Just checked what is installed on my machine.
At the UWP development tab the option C++ (v142) Universal Windows Platform tools is checked. Try if that fixes it.
Are you working on the latest Version of Visual Studio?
Could you check if you can deploy to the HoloLens Emulator?
Are you working with Unity/Unreal or just testing with an example downloaded?
to see TARGET -> DEVICE
This is becasue the wrong project got set as Default Startup Project,
must be changed by right clicking on the correct project and selecting
.... Set as Default Startup Project
......OK !!!
I am trying to debug the Xamarin.iOS application in Visual Studio 2017 professional, where I want to see the simulator/output on my windows machine which I am not able to see.
I have checked for the option Enable remote simulator to windows in VS by going below path
Tools => Options => Xamarin => iOS Settings
but here the option is not available.
As per the below links this option is enabled in all VS editions starting from VS 2017 version 15.5.and my VS 2017 version is 15.5.3, still the option is not visible.
https://xamarin.uservoice.com/forums/144858-xamarin-platform-suggestions/suggestions/17194163-allow-use-of-remoted-ios-simulator-from-all-editio
https://blog.xamarin.com/whats-new-visual-studio-2017-version-15-5/
Am i missing anything here ?
Any help on this appreciated !
If the option is not available, it is possible that the remote simulator isn't installed on your PC. You can download the installer from Xamarin Documentation website here.
You can also install it via the Visual Studio Installer, by clicking Modify on your VS installation, selecting Individual Components and then checking the checkbox next to Xamarin Remoted Simulator in the Development activities section and confirming by the Modify button.
When navigating to Tools > Options > Xamarin, click on iOS Settings under Xamarin, and it will be there.
I have Xamarin installed on the Visual Studio 2013 on Windows Operating System. It works fine.
There is Xamarin tools in VS2013 as follows:
My problem is as follows:
I have recently installed Visual Studio 2015 on my desktop on Windows operating system. I thought when I opened the VS2015, I expected to see the Xamarin in it, but it does not. Then I installed the Xamarin again, and again and again, but still Xamarin does not show up in VS2015.
I wonder what is wrong? What am I missing?
By the way, I still have VS2013 on my desktop.
No Xamarin tools in VS 2015 as follows:
I even tried the following approach, still no luck.
Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features Choose Xamarin
Click Change -> Next -> Click the desired drop down for each items in the tree view and select "Will be installed on local hard drive."
Click Next
I am even getting the following screen when installation is completed, but still I could not able to see Xamarin in VS2015.
I have installed Xamarin in my Visual Studio 2015 two days ago and it showing Xamarin under Tools. Below I have described the approach which I have followed to install Xamarin in Visual Studio 2015.
Go to Contol Panel >> Program Features >> Visual Studio
2015 >> Change>> Modify
1. Select C#/.Net(Xamarin) under Cross Platform Mobile Development
2. Check if these three red marked items are checked or not.
3. And then press update.It will download all the required packages to run Xamarin on VS 2015.Hope it helps you!!
I recently had horrendous problems trying to install Xamarin on VS2015 + Win10. (I don't have any other VS versions installed.) Even a full install and reinstall left huge holes in the installation. I tried repeatedly and each time the whole dev environment seemed to get itself in a different unusable state.
The fix for me, which is probably hitting a nut with a sledgehammer, was to:
Uninstall Xamarin (via Control Panel|Uninstall).
Uninstall Visual Studio (via Control Panel|Uninstall).
Follow Xamarin's manual uninstallation procedures Full Xamarin Uninstall.
Perform full reinstall of Visual Studio, being sure to tick the boxes shown in the answer by Parth Patel above.
This resulted in a faultless, fully functioning Xamarin environment for me. Overkill, maybe, but worth a go if all else fails.
Here is the solution:
I have deleted all the existing versions of visual studio ( 2010, 2012, 2013) except Visual Studio 2015 and then installed the Xamarin, and then I could able to see Xamarin on Visual Studio 2015.
It is not required to delete previous versions of VS. I have Xamarin Studio, VS 2013 and now VS 2015 and working perfectly. I moved to VS 2015 due to recent purchase of Xamarin by MS and that VS 2015 has Xamarin included.
I believe the issue with this question is was that your VS 2015 install did not include the add ins as pointed out in another answer in this question.
After the VS 2015 install -the only caveat was projects created initially in Xaramin Studio and then Opened in VS 2015 to needed to have the build configuration in the project tweaked. If not you could not get the project to build and then be deployed to an emulator or device for debug testing.
We have a few troubleshooting steps on our Knowledge Base that you can find here:
https://kb.xamarin.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1643349-missing-visual-studio-extensions-after-installation
Note: Some of these steps have older versions listed in the respective paths. You should use the latest version number available.
Before any install or uninstall actions. Try open some sample Xamarin project, in most cases during opening project in VS 15, it will show you, what needs to be installed or what is missing / corrupted.
Xamarin samples
I had some problems with my emulator best way to fix the problems is to uninstall everything (emulators, android sdk, vs, xamarin) and reinstall it.
It is also important to delete other or older versions of visual studio. Then you should probably see you options.
First try to uninstall all the other versions of Visual Studio (VS) 2013 in this case. Then try to reinstall Xamarin.
Visual Studio 2015 is little bit different from 2013 version, I am also using xamarin on visual studio 2015. But that is not listed under tools menu like 2013.
Maybe developers had changed that, you can go to "start a new project"(just like you start new app development), there you can find xamarin/android projects list, there you can start new android projects.
This is strange, I did not have any problem with Xamarin & VS 2015 (community).
You said,
I will see the Xamarin in it
Did you try to create a project or/and add your account in the new VS Installation ?
I'm on the latest version of Visual Studio 2015 Community (14.0.24720.00 Update 1) on Windows 10. I'm currently developing a Cordova App for Windows 10, iOS and Android using the Visual Studio Tools.
When I right click on the Project, then go Store > Associate App with the Store, I can successfully log in, see my existing apps and select the one I want, but when I try to actually associate that app with my VS project, VS just crashes.
I've already tried repairing Visual Studio through Add or Remove Programs and also cleaning out my project/solution, but none of this worked.
Any advice?
Thanks!
I had the same issue. Apparently, this is a known problem with VS2015 Update 1 (with the latest Cordova tools support).
The current workaround is to choose "Create App Packages" instead of "Associate App with the store." When you do this, the proper association will be generated and you can test as usual. I was successful using this approach.
The fix in Visual Studio 2015 for this crash is now available in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2. Here's a link to the installer: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691129
I'm using Visual C# 2010 Express RTM with Windows Phone Developer Tools April CTP Refresh and when I run any Build option, nothing happens. I've deleted the contents of the build output folders and that doesn't do anything. I can't even run the project, because it complains the executable is missing (XNA Game for Windows project). I've tried the project on another computer and it builds just fine. Any ideas?
I'm not sure how this happens, but here's how I fixed it:
Open Build -> Configuration Manager
In the "Platform" column, choose x86 instead of Any CPU
Click close
These exact steps may not work for you, but I've found that if you play around in the Configuration Manager window it will usually resolve this problem.
try a reinstall?
Visual Studio 2010 doesn't work with current versions of XNA Studio. You'll could wait until XNA Studio 4 comes out (apparently due this month).
To solve your issue, use Visual Studio 2008 or use the workaround at this link to continue using VS2010 and XNA.
