Breakpoints not working in xamarin uwp in Visual Studio 2017

Question

I am new in Xamarin Forms. Using xamarin application breakpoints work very well under Android but fails with UWP.

Checking option project → Properties → Build → "Compile using the native code tool chain" causes navigation to not work.

NB: vs 2017 is up to date (version 15.5.7)

Answer 1

This can happen if xamarin is used with .net standard, by default the shared library uses the 'portable' debug mode, if it is changed to 'Full' it should work correctly. Go to Project properties -> build -> Advanced -> Debuggingh information and set Full.
