Xamarin 5.10.3 installation error (on mac) - xamarin

I have a problem while running Xamarin 5.10.3.
I installed xamarin 5.10.3 and MonoFramework-MDK-4.4.0.142 among other dependencies, but I keep getting this error:

The error indicates that the MonoDroid addin is disabled.
So you can try enabling it in the Add-in Manager or if that is not possible you can edit the following file and make sure the MonoDroid addin is enabled there:
~/Library/Caches/XamarinStudio-5.0/addin-db-002/config.xml
If none of the above work I would close Xamarin Studio and then delete the addin database directory:
~/Library/Caches/XamarinStudio-5.0/addin-db-002/
Then when you restart Xamarin Studio it will recreate this addin database as though you have installed Xamarin Studio for the first time on your machine.

Visual Studio 2017 - Toolbox not loaded and hanging

I have just installed Visual Studio 2017 in my Windows 10.
I got error in initializing the Toolbox and it keep hanging.
Is there something I can do with?
I have launched the VS 2017 with Administrator, but this doesn't resolved the issue.
I had the same issue. I uninstalled Azure stuff and Clang/C2 and Toolset for Visual 2015.3 v140 and Xamarin stuff and added Apache Ant. After that it worked. So some of the above seams to resolve the issue. I will not do further investigation, because for me it is OK without that stuff.
Had the same problem. I did have Xamarin installed but not Android SDK, because I had it already installed for various other tools.
Turns out this is caused by Xamarin trying to access Android SDK, which isnt there. Solution seems to be to either remove Xamarin or install Android SDK, according to development community forum.
Unfortunatly, installing Xamarin and going into Xamarin/Android Settings to point to existing Android SDK (without it) also seems to hang VS2017.
HOWEVER...
If you want to keep Xamarin and use your own Android SDK/NDK, what you can do is:
Lauch Visual Studio 2017 Installer
Install Xamarin and Android SDK (dont need to install NDK as well)
Launch Visual Studio 2017
Go into Tools / Options / Xamarin / Android Settings (It wont hang
now)
Point to your existing Andoid SDK / NDK and Java runtime you want to
use
Close VS2017
Go back to Visual Studio Installer
Uninstall Android SDK
Before that I tried to define an ANDROID_HOME environment variable and tried to set the paths in registry, neither of those helped. This fixed the problem for me.
I tried all the voodoo solutions, removed every extension (xamarin included) and every package except the core .net and C# VS, which I updated to the latest version available v15.9.30. Same problem.
The solution for me was to uninstall an office plugin/tool from a previous visual studio.
The problem app was "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Runtime (x64)". After I uninstalled it, the problem was gone.

Xamarin iOS in Visual Studio is requested to be installed despite the fact that it already has been

All of our Xamarin devs (4 on the team) have started to experience the same error while opening Xamarin.Forms iOS-specific project in Visual Studio 2015. The project fails to load with an error dialog like this:
Clicking install will trigger the installer that will:
but then, since obviously Xamarin iOS is installed, will say that nothing new is there to install:
So basically, the mystery of why Xamarin iOS project won't open remains. Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to open Xamarin Studio on Windows 10

I Have been follow the steps in this video to install xamarin studio without visual studio
How to install Xamarin Studio in windows
and when i try to open it its not working,no message no anything
I try to run it as administrator and its doesnt work
If you look in the IDE log file, which is in the %AppData%\Local\Xamarin-Studio-6.0\Logs directory and you see an error similar to:
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libglib-2.0-0.dll': The specified module could not be found.
Then you may be able to fix this by installing an older version of GTK#. Full steps to do this are:
Stop Xamarin Studio.
Uninstall GTK#.
Install an older version of GTK# such as GTK# 2.12.30
Xamarin Studio on Windows 10 requires a bit of modification since we do not ship it in our Windows installer anymore:

It is highly recommended to use Visual Studio on Windows as it is free with the Community Edition.

Visual Studio crashes when trying to associate Cordova app with store

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

How to reverse Xamarin update?

The latest Xamarin update for mac has several severe issues. The mac 'apple' menu is duplicated, and the monogame plugin is not recognized anymore. To me, this makes Xamarin unusable. How can I uninstall the latest update?
Your MonoGame Addin is failing, but I know it works in the latest release as I am using it...
Xamarin Studio Version 5.10.1 (build 6)
MonoGame Addin 3.4.0.455
Try this:
Close Xamarin Studio
Delete the local MonoGame Addin directory
.
${HOME}/Library/Application Support/XamarinStudio-5.0/LocalInstall/Addins/MonoDevelop.MonoGame.3.4.0.455
Restart Xamarin Studio
Reinstalled the MonoGame Addin
Open Addin Manager to confirm
If it still fails with the same error message, it is another of your locally installed Addins that is loading before MonoGame that is causing the cyclic failure. Remove them one by one (or all) to test which one is the cause.
