For getting the project running it should be enough to import the .sln-file. All dependencies will be downloaded automatically.

Xamarin Studio is currently NOT supported (Dependency Issues with Nuget)

Common Pitfalls

Load failed for shared Projects

If you get an error message like this The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WindowsXaml\v14.0\8.1\Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.CSharp.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk., check out this solution on stackoverflow.

Visual Studio is freezing at startup

Visual Studio is freezing because it's trying to initialize the Android projects. The '.csproj'-file is pointing on the Android SDK v6.0 (API Level 23). If it isn't installed Visual Studio will not inform you - it will just freeze. Solution: Upgrade Visual Studio to Android SDK v6.0 (API Level 23)

XamarinStudio does not build new C# features

The newest MSBuild (2015) does not yet support features such as null-conditionals ?. or lambdas in field declarations. Edit the Integreat/Integreat.Droid/Integreat.Droid.csproj and set the CscToolPath property as described here:

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Platform)' != 'Unix'">
  <CscToolPath>$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin</CscToolPath>
</PropertyGroup>
