But seriously? why am I having to do this? Why it Visual Studio so broken that I can just run the UWP head project of a new Xamarin.Forms application. I’m sure that there are going to be readers out there that will answer this by saying – download nuget and run a manual restore or call dotnet restore from the package manager. It reads “Failed to download package ‘runtime.win10-圆4.2.1.8’ from ‘ ….” Not in the Output window, and actually the build was still going. and waited.Īfter seemingly forever there was an error that appeared in the bottom status bar.
After creating a new Xamarin.Forms application I set the UWP head project to be the startup project and hit run…. After installing all the bits and pieces I need to test out to make sure I can build and deploy apps to Android, iOS and Windows. Over the last 24hrs I’ve had to setup a new dev machine from scratch.
