Monodevelop + Linux and Android Xamarin developement


Is it possible to develop a portable Xamarin mobile (Android) application with MonoDevelop on Linux?

I'm using Linux Mint, I have installed MonoDevelop with the guides MonoDevelop linux and MonoDevelop Ubuntu-Debian. After installing, I have expected, when creating a project, to find out a project type similar to "Xamarin Android Application" or something.

The only project type mentioning cross-platform + Xamarin is this: project creation

The guides on Xamarin site only applies to Xamarin Studio. I am lost, is there something broken in my installation or it is simply impossible to use MonoDevelop to develop Xamarin for mobile Android applications (and I totally misunderstood)?

In case, can you point me to a guide or resource about developing Xamarin portable mobile apps with MonoDevelop?

PS: There is one Stack Overflow question with last comment of year 2012, and, since then, lot things have changed: Xamarin merge with NET.foundation, the open source release of Xamarin SDK. Clearly I have misunderstood about Linux support availability. I have thought the question should be re-formulated. I hope this match the policies.


Solution

  • Not yet, Xamarin Android will be available in Linux , but ETA is still unclear.
