Being considered native tech stacks, they are naturally most often used mobile development tools when it comes to iOS and Android app development. When considering iOS or Android app development, most of us think about Objective-C vs Swift, and Java first of all.

⊕ One Technology Stack to Code for All Platforms.Publish Android application to Google Play using E.A first implementation of alert dialog support in.Xamarin MVVMCross PCL Visual Studio issues.I am eager to hear other opinions, experiences, solutions, thoughts. (Off topic about Json.NET: Json.NET happens to have a Xamarin component available in the but Xamarin currently does not have the Component feature for PCLs). Without these two profiles selected, Visual Studio will automatically select ‘Windows Phone 7 and higher’ profile. When you create a PCL project you cannot select 'Windows Phone 7.5 and higher' without also having the two profiles selected. But that makes NuGet a bit less useful.Īnother side issue I've noticed is with having the two profiles (‘Mono for Android’ and ‘MonoTouch’): The reason is because most toolkits do not know about the ‘Mono for Android’ and ‘MonoTouch’ framework targets.Īs a workaround, even if the operation failed, you can still manually add as references the toolkit assemblies downloaded by NuGet in the ‘packages’ folder. When using #1 with custom profiles, if you try to use NuGet in Visual Studio, Visual Studio will complain about the larger majority of the available toolkits in NuGet: Problems with having the ‘Mono for Android’ and ‘MonoTouch’ custom profiles I also saw another way which involves using a WPF class library (you read it right). For this solution, you shouldn’t see them when creating the PCL, because they create an issue selecting the ‘WP7.5 and higher’ without these two profiles selected, see more below) (If you’ve been using the two profiles from method #1, remove them in advance. Then switch back and continue work in Visual Studio. The solution I am using: create PCL project and app project in Visual Studio, then use Xamarin Studio just to add the PCL project as reference to the application project. It will compile fine but with a warning generated about the possible framework incompatibility Manually edit the Xamarin application projects to add reference to the PCL project. This makes the two profiles available when creating the PCL and makes Visual Studio recognizing the PCL project compatible with the Xamarin app projects. (Most popular) Create profiles for ‘Mono for Android’ and ‘MonoTouch’ inĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable\v4.0\Profile\Profile104\SupportedFrameworks In the case of MVVMCross, you cannot add the Core PCL project to the application project. The problemīecause of the framework target profiles, Visual Studio by default won’t let you add a PCL projectas reference to your Xamarin Android project in Visual Studio. You don’t need to select all these, just the platforms you target but MVVMCross doesn’t work with ‘.NET Framework 4.0’ or ‘Windows Phone 7’.
Note that MVVMCross works with PCL targeting frameworks several platform specific applications projects (MyApp.Droid, MyApp.iOS, MyApp.Store) a platform-independent PCL Core (MyApp.Core) project containing your app logic like view models, services, models MVVMCross framework is suitable for Xamarin applications with the following structure:
