Same here :(

Same here :(

There is no other option, we are waiting!!!!!

[dellis1972]

This should be fixed via dotnet/android-tools#110
A workaround is included in that PR.

Working, deploy completed, application running on my phone, but in the mainactivity.cs file can't see the android namespaces!
Each line indicates an error. There may be something very big bug in this version

[jpobst]

Pulling the workaround directly into this ticket.

Creating the following empty directory should fix it:

mkdir -p ~/Library/Android/sdk

This fix is being prepped to be included in an upcoming service release.

I was having the same issue but I fix it doing this:

• Reinstall Android NDK from Visual Studio Android Preferences.
• Closing and Opening Visual Studio.

After that Visual Studio automatically found the path to the NDK and I was able to compile again.

[dellis1972]

A fix for this has been released in VSMac 8.9.2
