Valid GitHub acct but GitHub Extension for Visual studio 2017 show validation failed - visual-studio-extensions

I have created a GitHub acct. I can use browser to login to this acct.
However, when I used the same credential on Visual studio 2017 with Git Extension in stalled to sign in , I got the below message:
Validation failed
How to resolve this issue. Is there anyone experienced the same issue as my?
Please help.
Thanks

If you click "Sign in with your browser" under the Connect To GitHub window from the VS Team Explorer, do you make sure that you could sign in your browser?
I create a new GitHub acct, I get the same result as yours (Validation failed)in my side if I use that extension in my VS, but if I visit it in browser, I will get the following result if I select the "Sign in with your browser" option.
But if your account was verified, it will work well after you create a new repository. I test it in my side, it works normally now.

How to solve Xamarin Forms API deprecated Error 410

VS2017 shows this error when I'm trying to upload my apk:
This API has been deprecated and is no longer available
Any idea what cause and how to solve this error?
Xamarin 4.12.3
("Since I am answering as a guest it is not allowing me to embed images so there are image links below")
The issue happens in vs2019 also and I think it is being caused by this message in the Google Play Console
ACTION REQUIRED: Your automated publishing to Google Play will stop working on December 1, 2019
Your app is using an old version of the Google Play Developer API. From December 1 2019, versions 1 and 2 of this API will no longer be available, and any calls to these versions will fail. Update to version 3 before this date. Learn more
I am not sure how to fix this yet but if you need to get a release out you can manually grab the apk and upload it to the google play console.
Archive Manager > click on the desired apk > click open folder > grab apk file from the "signed-apks" folder
you can then go to the google play console and create a release and manually upload the apk file along with your newly created release.
I know this is not the fix I just figured I would through it out there in case it can help anyone.
Same Error Message in 2019
Same Message (VS 2019, 16.3.10; all Nuget-Packages updated, etc.)
I'm pretty sure it's the upload from within VS that is using an old API Call. Until now I didn't get a confirmation from MS Support - still waiting for it.
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/844304/api-has-been-deprecated-410.html
Microsoft patched this bug in the new version 16.4.2 of Visual Studio (see patch notes).
Please make sure to update to this version to fix the problem.

Wakanda studio enters infinite loop when "file not found" error displayed

I have installed Wakanda Studio 11 build 11.195328 (and server) on my Macbook Pro/OSX El Capitan.
When i open the "School management" solution and try to display the onGet event code for a calculated attribute, i get an error window showing a message like:
The model.TimeTable.rec_type.onGet was not found
Clicking on the "OK" button does not close the window and I need to "Force Quit" Wakanda Studio to reopen it.
I think this is a bug, but i also would like to know if existing solutions need to be "migrated" to be compatible with the newest version of Wakanda.
I tested with School Management Solution and got the same error message when clicking the "+" icon next to rec_type attribute of Timetable class in model designer. But, I was able to close the dialog by clicking "OK". It did not go into infinite-loop.
School Management was written in WAK7 and it is compatible with Wakanda 11.195328. Meaning you can still deploy and run it in Wakanda studio and serve. The model API and structure however, have become deprecated. A brief introduction of model API and syntax can be found here.
School management is still fully functional in Wakanda 11. The only thing you need to do is add three users named: 'administrator', 'teacher', 'student' in Directory since the old directory is not supported anymore.
If you would like to continue development on School Management or solutions created from earlier versions, they will need to be migrated.

Visual Studio 2015 - "Get"-window not responding

I use VS 2015 RC for a while now and now I face the first issue. I started VS, clicked on my recent solution, but then the following Window opened:
The problem is that what ever button I press (Get, Cancel, Close Button) and which CheckBox I checked, VS does not respond accordingly. It's not frozen, but the behavior is like you just put nothing in to your Button_Click Method. I am basically stuck with this window now. Restarting VS and rebooting did not help. Is there a file that I can delete to get out of this cycle? Did somebody face this exact problem?
Have you tried to do a Repair for Visual Studio 2015 RC in Program and Features.
/Sorry comments not working for me right now
I solved the problem.
Source of the problem was that the workspace was on another user account (lets call it contoso\John) on my local machine. This is an old user though. Contoso\John was migrated to a "fabrikam" domain. As a result the current user, the one that I work with daily is fabrikam\John. Because the SIDs are the same, both accounts have access to each others userprofile folder. After some usage VS seems to have a problem opening the workspace that is inside the contoso userprofile from the fabrikam account, though.
What I did:
Logged in as "contoso\John", checked in the last changes. Then I created a new workspace on the fabrikam userprofile and mapped it to my project on TFS. Then I logged back in with the fabrikam account, started VS, chose the new Workspace and then opened the solution. Now there is again the "Get"-window, but this time it responds to the Get-command. Everything gets loaded from TFS and is working as expected.
-> The Get-Window perhaps had permission issues with the workspace on the other userprofile, but did not throw any exception/error message. This could be improved by the VS team I think.

How to solve? "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again."?

I go to organizer. I press
Devices
Then I go to editor and Refresh from developer portal.
I got this error:
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem persists, please contact Apple Developer Program Support.
So I deleted all certificate or anything xcode related from my keychain. I deleted all certificate from apple developer center. Same problem.
Then I do it again.
First xcode says that there is no certificate. Want to make one. Sure.
Certificate is indeed created.
Then I got that message An unexpected error occurred. Please try again. If the problem persists, please contact Apple Developer Program Support.
It seems that I need to have some code signing identity. But how to make that and where is it? It's not available in itunes connect or apple developer program support.
I thought my certificate is my identity.
There is a similar question already. It says to delete both in Apple developer center and in xcode. I did that. It doesn't work.
Sometimes I got a message whether I want to sign with Looks like some key is wrong. But what?
When I tried to run a program I got:
(null): Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, contains disallowed entitlements, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate. (-19011)
When I go to organizer and submit my application to create that distribution certificate I got No identities available for signing.
So I download identities. Then I got an error occurred while attempting to download. Please try again.
There is also an option saying
Import developer profile. I guess I have to recreate this so called developer profile. What is it? And how?
According to this, after I create my first certificate I will be asked if I want to create a developer profile.
That never happens. I just got "An unexpected error occured" again.
Using xcode 5, I solved this by refreshing my provisioning profiles in preferences - accounts.
Hope this works for you.

Visual Studio 2010 giving error "External Component has thrown an exception"

I am running Visual Studio Ultimate on Windows 7. Here is the description of my problem:
My VS 2010 had been running absolutely fine until today when it started giving error "External Component has thrown an exception" when I try to open a new website. Creating a new web application works fine though but I am unable to run any of them.
While trying to run the previously created websites/webapps, its giving error as "Unable to launch ASP.NET development server".
And when I try to debug the website/web app, I am getting error: "Unable to launch ASP.NET development server. An attempt was made to perform an initialization operation when initialization has already been completed".
Similar errors are coming when I try to open Windows Form Applications and other projects.
No errors are getting logged on event viewer and I cannot see any other error information apart from what is mentioned above.
I searched all over internet but no help. I have already trying un-installing VS2010 using the script at this link (provided by MS). But when I re-install VS2010, it still shows me same error. To my surprise, after re-installing VS still shows the previous project list in "Recent Projects". I really doubt if VS is getting uninstalled.
I am totally clueless and any help would be highly appreciated. I am left with no other option but to format my OS if I don't find a solution here :( Please do let me know if any other details are required...
It might be caused by an adding or extension that you've installed, maybe without being aware of.
there are several ways to deal with that - one is to get inside add in manager and remove/ deactivate them.
if VS can't load there is a flag that should do the trick.
check this link for instructions on devenv flags.
you can use: /ResetAddin or /SafeMode
