I have VS2015 and VS2013 installed side-by-side. In VS2013 I have a list of emulators to start my app and it works awesome.
But VS2015 only has device in the list. How do I add the phone emulators to Visual Studio 2015?
UPDATE:
After playing around some more I've dug up some new findings.
Creating a new universal JavaScript project has the same issue
Creating a new universal C# project DOES show a list of emulators.
This worked for me!
Although I had CoreCon\12 and vs2015.3 instead of CoreCon\11 and vs2012
Maybe you could fix this issue by deleting this folder
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools\CoreCon\11.0
Then open VS2012 again.
If not repairing is always recommended

Rerun the installer. Make sure that the desired options are checked (probably either Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator or Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android, you don't say which emulator you are interested in). If in doubt, just check everything.
If you had unloaded your start project, it may not be your start project anymore after reloading. So do a right click -> Set as Startup Project and then hopefully the emulators will reappear.

Hello I have been trying to debug an Android project on mac os that was built with Xamarin Forms but have been unable to hit a single breakpoint in the Portable Class Library.
After deployment I get hollow type debugger.
Hollow breakpoint image
But its working fine on .Android and .IOS
Here is a list of everything I have tried so far:
Deleting the bin and obj folders then clean and rebuild Setting the
Android build property "Link Behavior" to "Don't Link" Unselecting Strip
native debugging symbols Removed all symbols on path to debug file
Fresh installation of Xamarin
fresh cloning
changing Debug information to "Symbol only"
Can you please suggest any answer that can help me in this ?
This issue was introduced in a recent visual studio update and should be fixed soon
Visual studio for Mac
While I wait for the new visual studio update I manage to fix this by enabling Fast Assembly Deployment located at: Android Project Options -> Android build
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Debugging-of-Xamarin-application-on-Andr/10001903
Visual studio for Windows
Try enabling Use Fast Deployment check this thread:

According to the screenshot you provided, it seems on Windows Visual Studio.
The hollow red circle in your screenshot means disable a breakpoint without deleting it. It shows the breakpoint, but it would not work in debug.
You could click the black circle in the screenshot to enable breakpoint.
For more details, you could refer to the MS docs. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/using-breakpoints?view=vs-2022
I am trying out Prism7 together with AutoFac in a xamarinforms project.
I am trying to create a custom renderer for an entry control, nothing fancy here.
But for some reason i cannot get a reference to xamarin.forms and xamarin.forms.platform.ios/android namespaces in my ios and android project.
The project is based on the prism7 templates and the pcl is a .net 2.0
Normally I would expect
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Entry), typeof(BorderlessEntryRenderer))]
to work and connect my renderers but as said cannot reference xamarin.forms.
Anyone got an ideer?
I made it work.
Solution was to open project in Visual Studio Mac (I was in pc version before).
Then there is no problem seeing the namespaces. Rebuild and run both projects to see them work.
Go back to visual studio pc version and continue work there. If you have Resharper you need to clear cache otherwise it will look like you still have errors.
Must be a Visual Studio Pc or Resharper bug. Maybe I should use Mac version from now on :-)
I had the same problem. That's how I fixed it:
Add the correct references (ex: using myproject.myrenderers;)
Close the solution and Visual Studio (Windows).
Delete all bin and obj folders in the solution (including each platform).
Open VS and the project.
Clean.
Rebuild.
Done.
I can't find Azure Mobile Service Project template in my visual studio 2015 express edition. And I have just updated the Azure SDK to 2.8.1 but still not getting the template. I can see the azure mobile app template so is it the same one?

please help me !!
Thanks,

You may resolve this issue by re-installing/Update the setup.
Restart the setup for VirtualStudio2015. Preview and select the required components to install.
After this you may see everything you want. You know, it's always better to select the features under 'Optional features to install' if you want to get what you want.
I'm trying to release an iOS app built using Visual Studio 2015 Cordova Tools. I can deploy to the simulator and to my device just fine. But I can't find where the .ipa file is being created? My bin/iOS/release folder is empty even after cleaning solution, restarting, and rebuilding.
I have not tried with the latest versions, but I never found that I could build a release version from VS for iOS. I always went and opened the project on the Mac with XCode, using the project in the remote-build folder, tweaked the project settings (VS project never seems to allow multiple device orientations, I need to check on the others, choose the correct developer profile, and usually correct the bundle identifier). Then build and submit to app store from XCode as a normal iOS app.
Perhaps the latest versions are better on this, but I doubt you will find the app bundle in your VS solution folders, it would have to be on the Mac.
I have cordova 5.3.3 and my app is already working very well for Android. Now I'm trying to build it for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 8.1.
The problem is that I found out that some .css files are not loaded (I'm running the app with both emulator and device with Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1 x64).
How can I debug the app to find what files are not loaded during app running?
I tried to use ripple-emulator (https://github.com/apache/incubator-ripple) but I think it does not work with Internet Explorer on Windows or maybe I can't make it work (I already use it on Linux with Chromium and the Android platform and it works).
I also tried to use Visual Studio 2013: I have opened the .sln file in /platforms/wp8 and ran the app, so I have whatched the output console, but I think that it does not help me because I could not find the informations I need about the .css files that are not loaded.
Any help please?
Thanks
If you run the app in the vs debugger the f12 tools will attach and you can view the Dom from visual studio. Just press f5 in vs to build, deploy and run with the debugger attached.
