Has anyone ever gotten the Xamerin Android app to wok on Live Player on a physical Android device?
I have been trying to figure this out for a few days and finally found this. There seems to still be similar issues as those mentioned in this article written in Dec 2017. Is Live Player just broken? It works fine for a simple hello world app and the Zero app runs fine in the emulators.... <a class="postlink" href="https://medium.com/volosoft/challenges-of-developing-xamarin-application-c2bfba6bbe49">https://medium.com/volosoft/challenges- ... bfba6bbe49</a>
I have not tried iOS yet.
Anyone?

from the docs;
Xamarin Live Player currently does not support some of the key features. Thus ASP.NET Zero Xamarin application cannot be debugged on Xamarin Live Player. Further information read Xamarin Live Player limitations.
LiveXAMLis a Xaml previewer runs while you are debugging your application. Whenever you save any XAML file, it automatically updates the running application. LiveXAML is a paid product. If you want to purchase LiveXAML, ASP.NET Zero customers get 30% discount.
Xamarin team say Live Player is for basic applications and when there are Custom Renderers, Third party MVVM frameworks, reflection or advanced scenarios with custom generic classes and interfaces may not be supported.
Thus Live Player is just for simple apps. Even James Montemagno say this in a podcast.

Ok, thank you @alper. Xamerin is not quite mature yet is it?
That is in the iOS section and I was just looking under Android for now. It might be helpful to move that information right up front for Xamerin rookies like me. :)
BTW, when will be be updated to Xamrin.Forms 3? 5.5?
Thanks again!

Xamarin is mature but has a lot of problems. I am not saying the Microsoft Xamarin Team is bad. They are doing their best but the issue itself (write once works for all) is difficult to achieve. That's why we deal with problems for every release. Event updating Xamarin.Forms package is a headache.
By the way Live Player also doesn't work for Android platform.
Lastly Xamarin.Forms v3 will be in the next release.

@alper, I don't see anything about this on github. Maybe I missed something.... What is the ETA for an updated Xamarin project?
Thanks!
