    @RyanWatson The best way to report any issue with Xamarin in Visual Studio is via Help > Send Feedback > Report a Problem. This is our replacement for Bugzilla that IMHO is much improved over the previous process. You can even record videos to show reproduction steps or record Visual Studio itself if you're experiencing problems like UI hangs:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/how-to-report-a-problem-with-visual-studio-2017

    Another nice feature is you can upvote issues if you're also experiencing them, which was tough to do in Bugzilla.

    If you know the problem you are experiencing are with the SDKs (generally happens around build errors and such), you can file those in GitHub on the iOS, Android, or Xamarin.Forms repositories.

    If you aren't sure, the best route to go is through Help > Send Feedback > Report a Problem.

    You can report it on Bugzilla
    https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/

    No. Bugzilla for Xamarin is end of life. It hasn't been the reporting method for many months. Old bugs were migrated to the new system. I doubt new bugs reports are monitored there anymore.

    Xamarin issues are reported through the Issues tab of the Xamarin.Forms GIT repository.

    @ClintStLaurent but what if it is an UI issue with Visual Studio causing a build issue with Xamarin.Android?

  • 1) If it a Xamarin issue report it there. Let them move it as needed.
    2) If its a Visual Studio issue, report it through Visual Studio feedback like any other VS issue.
    3) Do both. What's it going to hurt?
    4) Then 100,000 other people would be complaining about it already. What is it you think you've found?

    I think I found it on the VS issues but didn't have any comment from them. Didn't see it in Bugzilla.. haven't checked Git Issues yet.

    Mac os x emulator mame. Now Mac users can enjoy arcade games on their computer thanks to MAME OS X, a new version of this classic emulator that has been ported for Mac. You already know the features and function of MAME. It allows you to play hundreds of arcade games in ROM format. MAME OS X is a native Mac OS X port of the popular MAME emulator. It is designed to take advantage of all the latest Mac OS X technologies, like Core Video and Core Image. Download: MAMEOSX-0.135.dmg (universal binary, requires Mac OS X 10.4.x).

    The issue is that on VS (PC) if you are building a Xamarin.Android binding library and you set the parsing to class-parse it sets that value in the project's property node of the csproj file. If you do this on VS for Mac it sets that xml value in the Configuration property node. When building it is looking for this value in the Configuration. So building on a PC doesn't generate all methods but on a Mac it does. Have to go and manually add the line to the Build Configurations in the csproj to get it to build on Windows.

    Thank you @PierceBoggan . I went do a report through VS and I see someone else did report it. It looks like it is under investigation now.

    @RyanWatson: Do you mind sharing the issue with me so I can investigate?

  • @PierceBoggan Here it is: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/219595/class-parse-not-working-in-xamarin-android-binding.html

    Like the person who reported the problem, I was able to fix my issue by manually altering the csproj file and put the line in the right place. Looks like Windows version of VS is putting it in the wrong place but the Mac version is doing it correctly.

    The latest version of AAM Registration Notifier is unknown on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for the General category. The app is developed by Adobe Systems Inc. And its user rating is 4 out of 5. Aam registration notifier 8.0.0.95 for mac.

    Yep, the workaround provided works fine.

    I followed up internally with the team, and we've fixed this. It should be available when the Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8 previews begin to ship!

    Thank you for looking into this and glad to see that it will be fixed in a future version.
