Where is Xamarin Starter for Visual Studio 2013 Community? - visual-studio-2013

Has Xamarin released their starter edition for Visual Studio 2013 Commmunity as described in their blog (http://blog.xamarin.com/microsoft-and-xamarin-expand-global-partnership)?


If you read through the second point on there about the Community Edition it says: This will be available in the coming weeks.
We have double the size already, but community edition support will be coming soon.


Unfortunately I cannot find it anymore but I read something that currently only Visual Studio 2015 is supported but that there will be 2013 support. I did not try it but you can give it a try. Go to Xamarin Starter and download it. It will be the same as the "trial version" but as I read on this page it should be the starter edition as long as you don't use any features that are not included in the starter edition. Look at the store to see the differences between the different versions.


Yes, Xamarin has released both starter edition and plugin for Visual Studio 2013 Commmunity.
You could download Xamarin by the link below or from their site:

Acumatica and Visual Studio 2022 compatibility

Is there any official or unofficial details about compatibility of Acumatica with Visual Studio 2022 for customization development and integration? Any issues with developers using it now that it is released?

Another vote for no issue. Only issue is that Acuminator has not been ported to VS2022 yet.

I think there is none yet at the moment. I am also looking Acumatica Framework Tools to install for VS 2022. The tool is relatively new at the moment. We'll wait until the tools are released for VS 2022.
Hope you find this helpful.
Thank you

You can build the extension by getting the source: https://github.com/Acumatica/Acuminator/tree/VS2022

Use Acuminator. It is the official extension for the development with Acumatica Framework.
Regarding support of Visual Studio 2022.
A new Acuminator version 3.0.0 was released in April. It supports Visual Studio 2022.
Checkout its page in the marketplace:

Cordova aap can be developed on visual studio?

Can we develop cordova/phonegap app on Visual Studio version 2012? I am beginner, any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

You could develop a Cordova app using Visual Studio 2012 inside of a WebSite project (for example). However, it's not a great experience. Visual Studio 2015 includes official support for Apache Cordova (see more at http://taco.visualstudio.com). You may be able to use the free Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.

Xamarin and Visual Studio 2015 display Strange window

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 with xamarin community version of "Startr". The MAIN XML does not display the application screen, but this:

I think you need to buy the Business edition of Xamarin to edit .axml files. There is a 30-day trial. Starter edition won't suffice.

Is Xamarin free in Visual Studio 2015?

Currently I explore the Visual Studio 2015 RC and realized that Xamarin Studio is integrated into Visual Studio and its installer. My Question is: Is Xamarin from now on free in Visual Studio?

Updated March 31st, 2016:
We have announced that Visual Studio now includes Xamarin at no extra cost, including Community Edition, which is free for individual developers, open source projects, academic research, education, and small professional teams. There is no size restriction on the Community Edition and offers the same features as the Pro & Enterprise editions. Read more about the update here: https://blog.xamarin.com/xamarin-for-all/
Be sure to browse the store on how to download and get started: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/pricing/ and there is a nice FAQ section: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/support/

Yes, Xamarin is now free in Visual Studio

I asked the same question to Xamarin support team, they replied with following:
You can develop an app with Xamarin for commercial usage - there is no extra charge! We only require you to comply with Visual Studio's licensing terms,
which means that in companies of less than 250 employees with less than $1million USD annual revenue, you may use Visual Studio completely free (including Xamarin) for up to 5 developers.
However after you pass those barriers, you would need a Visual Studio license (which includes Xamarin).
Refer the screenshot below.

Visual Studio 2015 does include Xamarin Starter edition https://xamarin.com/starter
Xamarin Starter is free and allows developers to build and publish simple apps with the following limitations:
Contain no more than 128k of compiled user code (IL)
Do NOT call out to native third party libraries (i.e., developers may not P/Invoke into C/C++/Objective-C/Java)
Built using Xamarin.iOS / Xamarin.Android (NOT Xamarin.Forms)
Xamarin Starter installs automatically with Visual Studio 2015, and works with VS 2012, 2013, and 2015 (including Community Editions).
When your app outgrows Starter, you will be offered the opportunity to upgrade to a paid subscription, which you can learn more about here: https://store.xamarin.com/

Seems like now it's free for small teams and students, according to Scott Hanselman post https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/715568774418595840

If you go to the visualstudio.com Visual Studio 2015 RC cross-platform and mobile apps page, then read and scroll to the bottom, it appears that Microsoft is including Xamarin, and upon installing it you do have, as James said, the Xamarin Starter edition. In 2015 RC go to Tools, Xamarin Account to see your Xamarin license. I do not know the limitations, or any expiration date, of this Starter Xamarin Account.
Still, I don't know about you, but the Visual Studio 2015 RC "Community" edition I installed expires in less than 180 days. (Check the Help menu, go to "About...", and click on your license status to check.)
Let's say Xamarin Starter edition is free, but Visual Studio 2015 "Community" has an expiration date. So the bigger question might be whether Visual Studio 2015 "Community" will be free.
Without Xamarin though, Microsoft is offering C++ tools for cross-platform development, but scroll down to the bottom of the page and you might be surprised or confused at the download link description.

Visual studio community edition is bundled with xamarin and which is free as well.

No, it only contains a free 30 day trial. But I think there would be a package if you buy Visual Studio + Xamarin.

Xamarin is now owned by Microsoft So it completely free to use on Windows and mac as well.

Yes, Microsoft announced that xamrin is now free with VS15 and other latest versions.

Visual Studio is now including Xamarin also. You can download Xamarin Studio but this link
Make sure to get the Community Edition. it's Free to use

ASP.NET-5 in Visual Studio 2013

Can I create ASP.NET-5 projects in Visual Studio 2013 somehow?
Also share please links with documentation, examples or anything that could help to create project using mvc6 that used to be on web api.

The simple answer is not. I'm pretty sure, vNext is such big change in Microsoft technologies that they will not put any effort in adding that vs2013, you can get vs2015 community edition is very complete free version of visual studio.
this link is very good starting point.
