Xamarin + Visual Studio 2015

Question

I installed Xamarin in Visual Studio 2015. Created New Project - Xamarin.Forms (Portable) and get error : A problem was encountered creating the sub project . This project required a Visual Studio update to load . Right-click on the project and chooes "Download Update" .

But there is not any "Download Update" . How I can solve this problem ?

Answer 1

Open only the project that needs the update (not the solution) with VS. It should prompt you with what it needs and offer to install it.

Answer 2

It seems that you are working with the latest version of Xamarin, which now includes support for UWP apps. You can either install the Windows 10 SDK or simply delete the UWP project in case you are not interested in deploying your app to a Windows 10 device.
