I have a simple Xamarin.Forms project that I'm running in Visual Studio, using an iphone emulator. I have the following code in App.cs:

protected override void OnStart()
{
    Debug.WriteLine("---------- OnStart called!");
}

Where exactly is that supposed to output to? I don't see it in any of the Visual Studio output windows (Build, Build Order, Debug, Xamarin, Xamarin Diagnostics).

It will be coming in application output window. if it is not open automatically, you can go to view -> Pads -> Application Output. This was about mac visual studio. i am not sure about windows.

Rider has a plugin called Logcat, when I write

Console.WriteLine("**** Hi mate");

, then I can filter the Logcat window for **** and it will show the Console.WriteLine's

This is in Xamarin Forms, for both iOS and Android
