Is it possible to Install Xamarin.iOS on a mac without Android


I am trying to configure my mac for iOS development. I followed the instructions on the "setting up your mac for iOS development" video and downloaded the unified installer.

However, when I run the installer, it asks me which components I want to install. I unchecked Andriod and Mac and only left iOS checked. When I clicked continue, the installer is then asking me where do I want Android SDK installed. Well, I don't want it at all.

Is there a way to configure both the mac and Visual Studio to only install Xamarin.iOS. I don't have an andoid device so installing its SDK and NDK is just pointless, unless , they are required by Xamarin to function.

Thank you,

  • Sure you can, follow this guide in the Xamarin Documentation to just install the products you need

    https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/installation/mac/manual_installation/

    Also if you need the mono runtime you can grab it from

    http://www.mono-project.com

    Hope this helps!
