If you already have Visual Studio installed but don’t have the Xamarin tools, go to Programs and Features on your Windows computer and find Visual Studio 2015. Select it, click Change to access its setup, then select Modify. You’ll find Xamarin under Cross Platform Mobile Development as C#/.NET (Xamarin v4.0.3). Thanks, I was able to add the native library to both targets (iOS and Android) in the Xamarin Forms solution.

There are a few things that I've found in using it, however, that are a little bit different and might throw you off. For example, what if we want to manage NuGet packages? We do have a packages node here, and we can either update all the packages or restore all the packages, add a project level, or we could add a package. So we might go out for example and say we want to add a web API client. We got the similar sort of dialogue tailored for the Mac, shows us things like dependencies and results. And we can add our package in that way. One thing you won't find is a solution level package manager that you have in Visual Studio on Windows, so you can't manage packages across the solutions. If you wanted to do that, you'd need to go to each of the different projects to their packages node and…Practice while you learn with exercise files
