It took me more time debugging than coding within VS Windows.Īfter developing chunk of your app within Visual Studio MAC, the best is to get the code on the windows machine and arrange it to work in UWP. The best being to develop from Mac as you will have FAR LESS ERRORS AND BUGS than in VS for Windows.Ĭorrecting mistakes is really daunting and the best is really to develop from Mac to mitigate the damages, but it won't be hurdles free as well! What environment to favor while developing, most importantly when you are a C# and Xamarin noob like me?.Not to mention that you will have to install Ubuntu as another VM in order to setup a. So, prefer something older, but up-gradable (a cheap Macbook pro with 16go of RAM would do). 4go gets you a laggy environment! Really frustrating.

For those whom imperatively needs to develop their app on all platforms, here is what I did, and the pros and cons:
