Good morning! I’m trying to build an application Xamarin Forms in a windows 8.1 When I installed the xamarin and try to start a project, he asks me to add a MAC.

Is it necessary to add it? and if it is, I need to create a virtual machine to run the mac? 'Cause I don’t have one.

    Friend, in case you are trying to create an application for IOS, yes you will need to have a Mac.

  • Hello Thomas. is that I saw that who does not have a MAC, can still create an application with Xamarin.Forms using the visual studio. This proceeds/?

  • Friend, yes you can, you will write the programming in c# or other default language, however, for you to compile the programming, you will need a Mac, example, the same applies for android, create you can but to compile, vc needs android studio installed and sdk packages from it.

  • I get it, thank you

When creating a type project Xamarin Forms 3 projects are automatically created for three platforms iOS, Android, WP.

If your intention is to create only one application WP it is not advantageous to use this platform, better to develop a native application.

Now if you want your app to work for appliances Android and WP simply ignore the message concerning MAC (É necessário ter um MAC ,ou uma máquina virtual, para desenvolver para iOS) can even disable or remove the project for the platform iOS.
