VS For Mac's XAML tools broken after updating VS and/or Xamarin.Forms #11555
Comments
I am pasting in the most relevant errors here. The error in the VS logs, when saving an XAML file (which should hot reload the app):
The error when turning on hot reload in VS For Mac settings (after having toggled it off):
The error in VS For Mac logs when it is opened (even when no solution is loaded):
I can also see the following error in there:

So my process to get the system in an unusable state (where even deleting everything related to VS and Xamarin didn't help) was:
So clearly something is wrong there, and only deleting VS for Mac's settings in ~/.mono (which is not mentioned at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/uninstall?view=vsmac-2019 btw, may want to add it to the docs) helped. This is a heads up that this may be happening to anyone else who in the future will update either Xamarin.Forms and/or VS - I don't know which of those caused it but I'm more than happing being able to resume work, so this is no longer a critical issue for me. Thanks! |
@hartez From my point of view you can remove the critical tag as I found the workaround outlined in my previous post. |
@StephaneDelcroix Just wanted to confirm that the fix fixes this fully, as I had to delete ~/.mono before the system became usable again, even after uninstalling pre-2? |
Hi. I posted this to the VS For Mac forum, but I am not sure if this is a Xamarin.Forms problem or a VS For Mac problem so I am posting it here as well:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1124589/vs-for-mac-87-preview-build-2007-crashes-every-few.html
My development environment is now completely broken for Xamarin development and I am unable to proceed.
Thank you for your help!
