I have a problem with creating, building and deploying (still on Android) Xamarin/Xamarin.Forms projects on Visual Studio Community 2015
Version v14.0.25431.01 Update 3, Xamarin v4.2.0.680.
I can't build sample opened projects like MvvmCross or XAML examples. What I've done:
Clean and Rebuild
Update Xamarin extension
Update Nuget packages with removing dependenties
Close and reopen VS
Tools -> Clear MEF Component cache
List item
The most common:
IDE0006 Error encountered while loading the project. Some project features, such as full solution analysis for the failed project and projects that depend on it, have been disabled.
Who know how to solve it?
P.S: Solved by reinstalling Xamarin extension, Android SDK (NDK, emulators, etc.)
I had a host of problems with Xamarin under VS2015, e.g. locked files, compiler could not find files etc.. They all disappeared when I transferred my solution from a network drive to a local drive.

Yes, i've tried devenv/install, with no help.
So, I don't have the Console C# Project option when creating the project,
as shown here
Currently i have installed windows basic pack - there's my 'about' screen.
I have just reinstalled Windows because i was getting the same exact problem on old system, and because VS2015 had interface bugs and crashed consequently, but it didn`t help(as well as reinstalling both VS 2015 and 2017 numerous times)
Hope that you can guess whats wrong with my PC.
Visual Studio 2017 setup allows you to very fine-grainedly install various "components" separately, or groups of components delivered as "workloads".
You're missing the workload named ".NET desktop development", which contains among others these project templates. So re-run setup and install that workload.
You have a link, Open Visual Studio Installer in a New Project window that will allow you modify your installed components
I just installed Visual Studio 2017 and I'm trying to work on a Xamarin.Forms project. I cloned the existing repo and could build and deploy the iOS app just fine, but when I try to build the Android app it throws the following error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error The file "obj\Debug\android\bin\packaged_resources" does not exist. [Solution Name].Android C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets 1794
Everything works great in Xamarin Studio on Mac.
I created a clean Xamarin.Forms project in VS 2017 to isolate any particular solution issues and am getting the exact same error.
How can I fix this?
This issue generally occurs when the correct Build Tools aren't correctly installed.
Open up the Android SDK Tools. Here is where it is if you are using Visual Studio.
Make sure you have the latest SDK Tools, Platform Toosl and Build Tools. Delete any preview or old build tools. I would use the Rev. 25 ones. Rev 24. had a few issues, I would make sure they are uninstalled.
Then make sure you have the correct SDK downloaded for whatever you are trying to compile for. E.g. 7.1, 7.0, 6.0 etc.
Then near the bottom I normally have at least
Android Support Library Google
USB Driver
After install, close all VS instances and start it up again.
This is my first time of using Visual Studio 2015 Community with Xamarin, and in using them to create Tizen apps.
In Visual Studio 2015, I chose File - New Project - Blank Tizen App (Tizen Xamarin.Forms Single). The files were generated, but virtually every keyword was not recognized i.e. red underline on them.
What configuration is wrong is my system, and how to fix them?
OK, so I did the following and it fixed this problem (somehow):
1. Uninstalled VS2015.
2. Reinstalled VS2015. I encountered installation failure on Roslyn and NDK-R11C.
3. I Ran VS2015 installer again in elevated mode (Run as Admin) and chose Repair. Roslyn was successfully installed but NDK-R11C was still failed, with the same error as before: Cannot extract the zip file to the target location.
4. Manually I ran the extraction of NDK using windows' default unzipper. I got unclear error message stating that NDK cannot be expanded.
5. Using Norton Commander, Extracted the zip file to the same target location. Success.
6. Ran VS2015, created the blank project. Now NuGet could get the updates, and after that the keywords were properly recognized.
I don't know, though, what was the connection between NDK and Tizen Extension. Maybe the act of reinstalling VS2015 just fixed the problem. At least now I got it now. Thanks all!.
I think it's bug of VS plugin. (it's preview version.)
Project - Unload project and Project - Reload project
I think this should solve your problem.
When I create a Xamarin.Forms application using Visual Studio Community 2015 Community on Windows 8.1 it shows me this error on load:
A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'App1.WinPhone'. This project requires a Visual Studio update to load. Right-click on the project and choose 'Download Update'
I've installed all updates available and trying on a newly installed Windows.
Note: I had this error in Forms.
How can I fix this error?
Note: There isn't a Download Update option in Solution Explorer.
Navigate to where you saved the project files that you created in Visual Studio. Default location is C:\Users\PSDan\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects.
Open the project folder that you are experiencing problems with and navigate to C:\Users\PSDan\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\test\test\test.Windows folder. Inside this folder is a file called test.Windows.csproj.
Right click on that file and open with... using Visual Studio, by doing this it should detect the missing package and in my case automatically prompted to install the missing package.
I've been seeing similar errors for .Window or .WindowPhone and what I've observed is that it is due to missing SDK. Same might be the case with you.
Do you see App1.Droid appearing in the solution? (I guess NO)
Go to file explorer and locate App1.Droid.csproj (..\App1\App1.Droid\App1.Droid.csproj) and open this in a new instance. There it will pop up "Install Missing Feature" dialog and you can follow the steps to install missing components.
If your issue is the same as here:
Project required a Visual Studio update
then you may try and see if this solution works:
[Cause is] a mismatch of the target framework version and profile in the .csproj file. Despite the target framework being correct in the project Properties, they were not being correctly saved for whatever reason. Thus, when trying to install a utility library from nuGet, it left my project in the state you described.
The solution was to go by this site:
Framework Profiles in .NET
and find the correct combination, then manually edit the .csproj file to adjust <TargetFrameworkProfile> and <TargetFrameworkVersion>.
Installing Visual Studio Update 3 with selected features "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1" and "Cross Platform Mobile Development" solved the problem for me.
Uninstall Xamarin completely, and reinstall it. That happened to me as well. I would uninstall Visual studio too. Install that first, then install Xamarin.
Edit: I know this sucks to do, but it was what the Xamarin team had me do to resolve it. As far as I know this is the official fix as of last week.
I have an ASP.NET MVC application that I'm working on in Visual Studio 2013 Premium. I have three projects that are underneath my solution. If I right-click on any of the folders that are immediately under my solution and choose add, the flyout from the context menu displays fine and Visual Studio continues to function normally.
If I right click on any (I've tried a few but not all) folder underneath one particular project in Visual Studio, it freezes for about fifteen minutes. The cpu and memory usage when this is going on seem pretty normal.
If I right click on any of the folders underneath the other two projects and choose Add I get the flyout to appear showing the types of things I can add to the folder and everything works just fine.
What I've tried:
Disabling all Visual Studio Extensions that can be disabled. This didn't fix it.
Starting an instance of Visual Studio in Safe mode, this does fix it.
Any idea what I can try next? I'd hate to have to manually uninstall all of the Visual Studio extensions that can't be disabled, but this seems like the logical next course of action.
As far as Extensions I have:
Application Insights Behaviors SDK (XAML)
Bing Dev. Assistant (Disabled, installed after problem started)
Find in Solution Explorer (Disabled)
Company-created Build Tools (Disabled)
Company-created Core Tools
Company-created Scaffolding Tools (Disabled)
Microsoft Advertising pubCenter
Microsoft Advertising SDK for Win 8.1
Microsoft Advertising SDK for WP 8.1 XAML
Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools
Microsoft Visual Studio ASP.NET MVC 5 Scaffolding
Nuget Package Manager
Productivity Power Tools (Disabled)
Release Management for VS 2013
TFS Server Power Tools for VS 2013
TFS Sidekicks (Disabled)
TFS Process Template Editor
TFS Team Collab.
TFS Work Item Type Designer
Unit Test Generator (Disabled)
Visual F#
VS Extensions for Windows Library for JavaScript
WP 8.1 SDK Integration
Workflow Manager Activities
I don't need the WP 8.1 stuff here at work, but dabble with it at home. Since I'm logged into my MSDN account in Visual Studio at both places, would it uninstall it from my home PC if I uninstall it at work?
I'm doing a little further exploration. On the project that has the problem, when I try to do an add to a folder, I'm seeing Nuget.exe get fired off every six seconds over and over again. Where would I look to see where this is set up? I assume in the .csproj file.
Thanks
I disabled and uninstalled a bunch of Visual Studio extensions, which didn't help. I then cleared my nuget cache and that solved my problem.
I had exactly the same problem apparently, in my case it was a reference problem try deleting them one by one until the it starts responding in real time, i suggest starting with 3rd party dlls.
