Why is Xamarin Forms for Android so difficult to install
-
Hi Has anyone ever gotten Xamarin.forms for android to work? I have been battling xamarin installation for about 3 weeks now and all i am getting are errors. I have removed VS, reinstalled it, installed, reinstalled android sdk,xamarin etc to no avail. I think i will just go back to Ionic, never had this kind of problems. The errors are so vague, and checking online i can see so many people having the same issues without any solution for them Any framework/platform shouldn't be this difficult to install and run. in my language, Na wa o!(i.e its a wonder o)

Xamarin Form (for Android, iOS and even WinPhone) user here! What is your problem exactly? The problem which plagued me the most is everything seems to work fine but build fail. But in the log file it tells of a zip file to download an unzip in some specific location. DO what it tells and it fixes the problem for good.

Weird. I installed VS2015, did what it told me to do, and it worked right out of the box...IIRC, it was months ago.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Just a quick hint, do not use standalone installers. Let the installer itself manage everything. Do (as said earlier) as it says and you'll be left alone. :laugh:

I've developed several apps using Xamarin and think it's a great development environment. What problems are you having specifically? I also use Telerik Platform which is another awesome development environment for creating mobile apps.
