If you work with the beta channel (or you keen to use the alpha .. ) things might get hairy. Today I spend a little bit of time with my work laptop. Upgrading to Xamarin 6 was easy and wasn’t a problem at all it seemed. And a dark theme<\/strong>!!! Now I was jumping like an enthusiastic puppy!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Xamarin6DarkTheme\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nice editor Xamarin!<\/p>\n

Build failed – Android component<\/h2>\n

First I couldn’t build projects any more and the information provided in the deployment log was … “Build failed”. Sure, but why. Investigating the IDE, Component and Android \u00a0logs at least revealed that the Android component was missing. I find it highly suspicious that it is required although the projects don’t come near Android (targeted for DLLs on Windows). You find the logs unter<\/p>\n

%LOCALAPPDATA%\\XamarinStudio-6.0<\/em>\\Logs\\<\/p>\n

Gtk# – Dark theme with white *meh* widgets<\/h2>\n

If your GUI is f**** up, you probably have the wrong Gtk# version installed. Don’t install the one from the official web page, nor from another source. You should have a Gtk# version downloaded during the process of obtaining the beta channel Xamarin version. These files usually are located under<\/p>\n

%LOCALAPPDATA%\\XamarinStudio-5.0<\/em>\\Cache\\TempDownload\\<\/p>\n

“-5.0” might differ depending on your Xamarin version!<\/p>\n

The Gtk# version that works the best with the dark theme is Gtk# 2.12.38 (gtk-sharp-2.12.38.msi).<\/p>\n

MSBuild Engine<\/h2>\n

If your toolset of Microsoft is f***** up you may experience\u00a0that all your base type definitions aren’t defined. Simply unchecking the usage of the MSBuild engine does the trick but is not a real solution. Only a workaround. (I hate work machines that are restricted by your IT department).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
