The archive manager window will appear and build your app.Select the YourAppName.droid project and click “Build - Archive” from the main menu.Change the “Build Configuration” to “App Store”.Visual studio has some tools to create an APK, and they seem to be in constant churn, but at the time of writing, the process is as follows. Change the label attribute on the application node to YourAppName.This value can be anything you like and is displayed in Google Play. Add an android:versionName="0.1 attribute to the root manifest node.This is an integer and it must be incremented every time you upload an apk on Google Play. Add an android:versionCode="1" attribute to the root manifest node.Most people use their url in reverse (eg com.yourappname instead of ) and stick to lower case. The package name must be unique on Google Play and must follow normal java package name conventions. Add a package="com.yourappname" (or similar) attribute to the root manifest node.To tell Google about your app, you have to make some changes to the Properties\AndroidManifest.xml file of the YourAppName.Droid project. You might also run in to compile errors due to ridiculous dependency weirdness. Disable Hyper-V and restart your machine to fix this. If you have Hyper-V enabled (maybe you use Docker), then you might get an Deployment Error when doing this. This should show the bare bones app in an emulator. Select the YourAppName.Droid project and run it. Give it a interesting name, which I will assume to be YourAppName for the rest of this post. In my version of Visual Studio (Community 2015), this is done by clicking “File - New - Project” on the main menu and then selecting “Blank App (Xamarin.Forms Portable)” from “Templates - Visual C# - Cross-Platform”.
Create a new Xamarin Portable Class Library (PCL) project If you are new to GitHub, see this getting started guide, otherwise simply create a new repo and git clone it somewhere convenient. You can look at the repo I created to test this post if you get stuck.įirst, install Xamarin from. It contains from scratch steps to create a Xamarin Android application (in Visual Studio), to build it on AppVeyor and to publish it to the Play Store. This post is written from the point of view of someone (me) who is already proficient in C#, but was new to Xamarin, Mobile phone development, and AppVeyor. This is a guest post by Cedd Burge, Software Developer Lead at RES.
