App Not Showing Up On Android Emulator Xamarin Free To Upload

My app is crashing on 6.0, though works on 4.2, 5.0 and 7.0.

Same code, same version of Xamarin, etc.

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode).

I can grant access to the app if you let me know which email address to add as a collaborator.

Please attach a reproduction to the bug by starting with a clean Xamarin.Android project and adding just the code necessary to demonstrate the issue.

If there are any other special setup instructions, please let me know such as what version of Android it needs to run on, and if architecture matters in this case.

I am marking this bug as NEEDINFO until we have a reproduction that confirms the issue.

There are tons of new features and a huge revamp to installation but things to me still arent absolutely perfect in the setup of how I like to develop.

So in the spirit of my Cycle 8 and Cycle 9 installation guides I am proud to bring you the ultimate VS 2017 Setup Guide for Xamarin.

You now pick workloads of development that you want to install and it will take care of the rest.

It is highly configurable, but the default for me of installing tons of stuff was super fast and installed in under 30 minutes If you just do the core VS 2017 install it will be installed in under 5 minutes That is crazy.

For Xamarin development there is literally a Xamarin checkbox under mobile, it is the first choice and really the only choice you need.

Additional Configuration for Android There are a few tweaks here that I must make to be happy for Android development.

While the installer is nearly perfect, here is my recommendation.

Install the latest JDK 1.8 x64 (currently 8u121) Installing the x64 version on Windows is extremely important because it is needed for custom controls in the Android designer and also for the Xamarin.Forms Previewer to work.

If you dont have a x64 machine know that these are a few of the restrictions that may not work on your machine.

You will then need to set the path in the tools-options menu.

We now install the default Google Emulators, both Arm and x86.

The latter, x86 are extremely fast, but require you to turn off Hyper-V and ensure that you have the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel HAXM) installed.

So first, go turn off Hyper-V and then install Haxm and you will be nice and happy.

I then recommend going to the Android Emulator Manager and creating a new emulator with my preferred options.

Second, you arent going to get the latest and greatest as they havent been updated in a while.

Third, if you are running a Skylake or newer processor you need to turn on compatibility mode or your app will fail to debug.

Lastly, there are no google play services or maps on them unless you hack around it and install gapps with this awesome guide.

Creating your first app It is time Lets create a new app with File - new project, which will reveal all the Xamarin templates for mobile development.

This will bring up a wizard to guide you through creating your first Blank app for Xamarin Native or Xamarin.Forms.

Be sure to checkout the Xamarin blog on all the new stuff in VS 2017.
