可以同时使用Visual Studio和Xamarin Studio构建Xamarin项目吗？

Question

I know that you can use either of these tools for creating Xamarin projects, but can I also go between using the two of them? Ex: I am on a Mac, and my co-workers is on Windows?

I used to believe it was possible, but the moment we added the Windows project, we can no longer build for iOS.

When we try to build, we receive an error about not being able to import target WIndows.

I understand this, as I'm on a Mac. Even if I exclude the UWP project from the build process, it still throws this error.

How do you write Xamarin projects on both a Mac and a Windows machine?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. However, XS on a Mac cannot build Windows projects (although you should be able to exclude them from the build), and VS on the PC can only build iOS projects with the aid of a Mac to act as a build server. Otherwise the solution files should be portable between the two environments.
