Hi @Krumelur, I do not seem to be able to get an IP for an Android Studio based emulator (or started via emulator -avd command in terminal), Android Player from xamarin provides this as I think Genymotion does. Maybe there is a way? – WickedW Sep 30 '16 at 5:48. If you already have Visual Studio 2019, you can check for updates: Open Visual Studio for Mac. In the menu bar, select Visual Studio Check for Updates. Available updates will be displayed and select Update. Optional: Install Xcode. If you want to build Xamarin apps for iOS or macOS, you'll also need. User326158 posted. Hello, On Mac OS X, I've used the Xamarin Android SDK Manager to download, via the Platforms tab, these things: Android 8.0 'Android SDK Platform', 'Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image', Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image'.

Xamarin products rely upon the platform SDKs from Apple and Google totarget iOS or Android, so our system requirements match theirs. This pageoutlines system compatibility for the Xamarin platform and recommendeddevelopment environment and SDK versions.

Take a look at the installation instructionsfor more information on obtaining the software and required SDKs.

Development environments

This table shows which platforms can be built with differentdevelopment tool & operating system combinations:

macOS	Windows
Development Environment	Visual Studio for Mac	Visual Studio
Xamarin.iOS	Yes	Yes (with Mac computer)
Xamarin.Android	Yes	Yes
Xamarin.Forms ^	iOS & Android	Android, Windows/UWP (iOS with Mac computer)
Xamarin.Mac	Yes	Open project & compile only

^ Other platforms are also available.

Note

To develop for iOS on Windows computers there must be aMac computer accessible on the network,for remote compilation and debugging. This also works if you have Visual Studiorunning inside a Windows VM on a Mac computer.

macOS requirements

Using a Mac computer for Xamarin development requires the following software/SDK versions. Checkyour operating system version and follow the instructions for the Xamarin installer.

Recommended	Notes
Operating System	macOS Mojave (10.14)	Xcode 10 requires macOS High Sierra (10.13) or newer.
Xamarin.iOS	iOS 12 SDK	The iOS 12 SDK ships with Xcode 10.
Xamarin.Android	Android 6.0 / API level 23	You can still target older Android versions while using the latest SDK, or you can build against older versions of the SDK if required.
Xamarin.Forms	Xamarin.Forms apps built on macOS can include iOS, Android, and macOS projects, subject to the SDK requirements above. Xamarin.Forms projects for Windows/UWP cannot be built on macOS.
Xamarin.Mac	macOS Mojave (10.14) SDK	The macOS Mojave (10.14) SDK ships with Xcode 10 and is required to build apps that use the newest macOS APIs.

Note

Xcode can be installed (and updated) ondeveloper.apple.com or via the Mac App Store.

Testing & debugging on macOS

Xamarin mobile applications can be deployed to physical devices via USBfor testing and debugging (Apple Watch apps are deployed first to thepaired iPhone).
Xamarin.Mac apps can be tested directly on the development computer.

Testing Notes
Xamarin.iOS	The easiest way to get started is using the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV simulators that are included with Xcode. To use a device for testing, follow these instructions.
Xamarin.Android	Follow these instructions to configure your device, or use an emulator: The Xamarin installer includes the Google Emulator Manager which lets you configure Google Android emulators for testing.
Xamarin.Forms	Xamarin.Forms apps for iOS and Android can be deployed to the relevant platforms as described above.
Xamarin.Mac	Xamarin.Mac apps can be tested directly on the development computer.

Warning

Xamarin.Mac 4.8 only supports macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) or higher.Previous versions of Xamarin.Mac supported macOS 10.7 or higher, butthese older macOS versions lack sufficient TLS infrastructure to supportTLS 1.2. To target macOS 10.7 or macOS 10.8, use Xamarin.Mac 4.6 orearlier.

Windows requirements

Using a Windows computer for Xamarin development requires the following software/SDK versions.Check your operating system version (and confirm that you are not using an Express version ofVisual Studio - if so, consider updating to a Community edition).The Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio 2017 installer includes an option to install Xamarin automatically (the Mobile development with .NET workload).

Recommended	Notes
Operating System	Windows 10	The minimum operating system version is Windows 7. Xamarin.Forms UWP support requires Windows 10.
Xamarin.iOS	iOS 10 SDK (installed on a Mac)	To build iOS projects on Windows requires: Visual Studio 2017 (Visual Studio 2019 is recommended), and a Mac computer, network-accessible from the Windows computer, that conforms to the minimum requirements for running Xamarin on macOS.
Xamarin.Android	Android 6.0 / API level 23	You can still target older Android versions while using the latest SDK, or you can build against older versions of the SDK if required.
Xamarin.Forms	Xamarin.Forms apps for iOS and Android can be deployed to the relevant platforms as described above. Using Visual Studio also means you can test apps for the Universal Windows Platform (on Windows 10) directly on the development computer.
Xamarin.Mac	Xamarin.Mac projects (macOS desktop apps) can be opened in Visual Studio and compiled to check for errors, but Mac applications cannot currently be built for distribution in Visual Studio.
