On Visual Studio Mac and Visual Studio Windows, when I attempt to upload my application to the App Store, I get a message during the upload process:
However, when I upload with XCode, there are no issues. I'm able to put the application into TestFlight, download to my phone and it runs fine:
How do I being to debug this problem?
I'm new to xamarin and I'm trying to create cross platform App. In my Visual Studio there are only two options(Refer attached Image) but there should be option to create cross platform App too. I tried reinstalling mobile development with .NET and I'm using Visual Studio 2017.
Screenshot here
Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) is a cross-platform. This allows you to use .NET with C#. Please try creating anew Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) project. It should create an Android project, an iOS project, and shared UI project. The shared project is where you will write the shared code for both projects.
I'm trying to compile a cordova project to apk using Visual Studio 2017, but it gives me this message:
platform android already added
It is not generating an apk. I followed various tutorials but it's no use. I can't get it to work. What to do?
You have to run it on a android simulator or a android phone for it to build a APK.
For clarification:
Yes you have to use a "device" that is actually running android for Visual Studio to actually build the APK, just building the solution won't work.
You can either use your phone, or the microsoft android simulators for this.
Running it in the browser doesn't use the APK so VS doesn't build it.
You can find more here http://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/tutorial-package-publish-readme/#package-the-android-version-of-your-app
When you install from the Visual Studio Installer, you need to install these options as well. Then only it will build the .apk file
In the right side you can find Android SDK setup, Google Android Emulator under Optional, please enable these options and Install.
After Installation, when you build, select Debug--->Android---->Google Emulator Phone as shown in image below
Responding to your question: "What to do?"
There are at least two ways:
If you want to have an apk of your app "without/outside Visual Studio", you may obtain this by executing this from command line:
"cordova build android --release" or in debug mode "cordova build android --debug"
If you want to have an apk of your app "with/inside Visual Studio", you may cancel platforms folder and rebuild your solution with Visual Studio
I need to publish my android app that make it with visual studio enterprise 2017 and get IOS version of My App.
How to do this?
If you wish to compile your Xamarin application on iOS, you must have a Mac machine and deploy your app through there. You are not able to deploy an iOS version of your application on Windows, unless you are tethering to a Mac device through LAN for example using Visual Studio 2017.
Chick this out too, hope it helps!
