The next step is to choose between compiling using Emulators or your device , but recently they announced a new , faster tool for Xamarin and Visual Studio for Mac feature to compile and render your application that is Xamarin Live Player app installed on your iOS or Android device .
5 . Emulator When I started Workshop , I was facing many problems to work with Emulators , Windows 10 Mobile emulators use Hyper-v . And we tried to install GenyMotion as an Android emulator and it uses Virtual Box . Hyper-v and Virtual Box do not work on the same machine . There may even be some way to make them work together , GenyMotion allow you to get more devices ( for personal use ) but as I said before it requires specific configuration ( see more : https :// docs . genymotion . com / pdf / PDF _ User _ Guide / Genymotion-2.11-User-Guide . pdf ), but the machine used in the training room don ’ t have this characteristic . After , to minimize the use of the machine memory , we used our mobile ( Samsung , Huawei …), we installed USB driver and we started to compile and to see the result but it ’ s always a problem for some mobile .
6 . Xamarin Live Player Visual Studio has a Forms Previewer tool that ’ s supposed to show the view on the fly but it never works . Everybody is complaining about it . So Visual Studio released another tool ; Xamarin Live Player . It provides real-time feedback to developers while fitting into their existing mobile development experience . By pairing your device to the IDE , we are able to continually deploy , test , and debug the app directly on the device . So , how we can use it ? It ’ s simple , we start by selecting a new target from our device .
