Share the pit of the next Mac install Xamarin cross platform development environment

Previously installed the Xamarin environment on VS2015, considering that debugging iOS still requires a Mac machine, yesterday decided to install Xamarin directly on the Mac.

After installing all the effects, you can now create an Android and iOS environment.

I install the process, iOS and Android development environment, not automatically installed, I manually downloaded the following installation package

I played iOS before, but did not play Android, all I do not know how to configure the Android SDK and NDK, after the constant Baidu and experiment, and finally succeeded

command line access to Tools directory

then enter the ./android SDK out of the SDK manager's graphical interface

Android SDK Manager--Preferences ...

It's ready to install.

Then today Tools directory,

Enter the./android SVD to open the simulator.

The next step is to install the NDK,

NDK needs to be decompressed

Unzip the Android NDK,
Android-ndk-r10e-darwin-x86_64.bin the directory in the terminal, execute the following command,
chmod a+x Android-ndk-r10e-darwin-x86_64.bin
./android-ndk-r10e-darwin-x86_64.bin

The final decompression is done to get android-ndk-r10e is the NDK file to be configured

The Android simulator starts up as slow as ever, and then it's time to switch to a third-party simulator.

iOS is relatively simple, as long as you upgrade Xcode to the latest version you can run the simulator directly
