Okay so I wanted to get into mobile development and decided to start with Android Studio, but I wanted to more easily reach both Android and IOS so switched over to Xamarin.
Honestly, Xamarin looks really cool and I have been trying so hard to get into it, but every time I open a new Xamarin project it seems to break right away before I really get to do anything.
Sometimes it asks me to update something so I do so before I begin development and it breaks, sometimes I run an initial build right when I make the project with no changes made and it breaks. Sometimes I do something as simple as adding a button or entry in the XAML code and it just breaks, and when I erase all my changes it is still broken.
I just want to know, is this just me or is this just how Xamarin is? I know there is a huge chance it is just me having no idea what I'm doing, but the project seems to break even when I follow updated tutorials and documentation. I have gotten errors even involving the file path it made.
Summary
The short time I used Android Studio I was able to get decently far into development and it still didn't break, but with Xamarin I am having a hard time just getting past the creation of the project without some error. Why is this? Does this happen to experienced Xamarin Developers or just for beginners?
