Warning: Omnisharp 1.23.5 settings

 

Omnisharp 1.23.5 can't work with installed mono by default - you need to set

"omnisharp.useGlobalMono":"always" in VSCode Preferences

Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes

Just in case: beware those "-" in the .sln file, when you have this failure in the VSCode ...

        The project system 'OmniSharp.MSBuild.ProjectSystem' threw exception during initialization.

Optimize, AndroidLinkMode, big project and fast deployment

1. Set Optimize = false for Debug

otherwise I have

run-as: package not debuggable

If you have a large project and [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

2. Copy assemblies (dlls) to .__override__ if you need AndroidLinkMode = SdkOnly.

3. Alternatively to SdkOnly we may set AndroidUseAapt2 = true

build #21214 - works for me (06.2020)

Spoiler: I was able to build and run my previous work PCL project and use Visual Studio Code on Linux again.
