Xamarin studio 6.3 not starting with window 10 - xamarin.android

Xamarin studio 6.3 is not starting in Windows 10.
With this I also installed:
Xamarin.VisualStudio_4.5.0.486
XamarinStudio-6.1.4.1
XamarinStudio-6.3.0.863
Ms Build tool 2013.
Ms Build tool 2015
Gtk #2.12.22
When I try to start Xamarin studio, it's not opening.
I also checked the logs. Only the message below is shown:
INFO [2017-07-14 18:14:00Z]: Starting Xamarin Studio 6.3 (build 863)
INFO [2017-07-14 18:14:00Z]: Running on Microsoft .NET 4.0.30319.42000
INFO [2017-07-14 18:14:00Z]: Operating System: Windows 10.0.14393.0
(64-bit) INFO [2017-07-14 18:14:00Z]: Found GTK# version 2.12.22

According to this topic on Xamarin forum, Installing a newer version of Gtk# solves the problem. (for me, v2.12.45 did it)

Can I use Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2022?

Has anyone tried Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2022?
I have an ASP.NET MVC app using Bootstrap and Crystal Reports. Wondering if I can run and maintain it in Visual Studio 2022...
Crystal report patch for Visual Studio 2022 is SP32, which has been released. The download address is:
CR for Visual Studio SP32 64b installer (VS 2022 and above),or just download runtime:CR for Visual Studio SP32 CR Runtime 64-bit.
Uninstall the old version first, and then download the new version to install.
Here are the official release notes:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (64bit)
Security updates
Addressed customer Incidents

Platform support: Win 10 21H2
Platform support: Win 11 21H2 - Check KBA 3204578 for a Windows 11 specific OLE image issue and workaround.

This is the response from SAP.
Wait for SP32.

SAP Crystal Reports does not support Visual Studio 2022 yet—not even the latest SP31. Please use other alternatives for now, or wait for SP32.
I upgraded from Visual Studio 2017 to 2022. For Crystal reports, I continue to develop them in 2017. Then I copy the reports from my 2017 folder into the 2022 folder. The new/modified reports developed in 2017 work fine in 2022. I do have crystal NuGet package version 13.04.001 installed in my VS 2022 version.
The latest version SP32 supports VS 2022

After installing SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (SP32) installation package for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE (VS 2022 and above)
I still couldn't add a Crystal Report to ASP.Net 4.8 project. I had uninstalled all previous versions of CR for VS, rebooted, etc.
I had VS 2019, VS 2022 Preview and VS 2022 installed. After removing VS 2022 Preview, updating VS 2022 and re-install of SP32 for VS IDE, everything began working.

How to downgrade visual studio 2019 for mac to version 8.4?

I have Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac
Version 8.4.1 (build 4).
I need to downgrade to 8.4.
How I can do that?
I'm doing it, as everything got broken with the new version.
I found the old installers here (off-line)
https://mac.filehorse.com/download-visual-studio-community-mac/old-versions/
Im still solving the SDK stuff happening (thanks to the Frankenstain integration in the tool)
Some other references.

From the source to check the correct version number:

Wish me luck

Is version 11 of Xcode supported by Visual Studio 2019 and Xamarin on a Windows PC?

I am trying to learn more about Xamarin in my free time. So far I have created a simple Xamarin Forms app with a UWP target and an Android target. I want to add an IOS target now.
Therefore I have purchased a MacBook Pro with Mojave 10.14.6. I have installed Xcode 11 (11A420a) and Visual Studio 2019 version 8.3.1 (I believe) on the Mac. I have opened Visual Studio 2019 on my Windows PC (version 16.0.3) and successfully paired the Mac.
I then created a Hello World Xamarin Forms app that is targeted by IOS on the Windows PC. The app runs, however I just see a black screen in the simulator. I have spent all day Googling this and have got no-where. Is version 11 of Xcode supported by Visual Studio 2019 and Xamarin on a Windows PC? What can I do?
Is version 11 of XCode supported by Visual Studio 2019 and Xamarin on
a Windows PC?
Yes, it is suppported.
I cannot see a project options in the build menu.
Right click the iOS project--> option --> iOS build --> link behavior, I will show you the screenshot.
And
Update:
To the original question, update the Visual-Studio to the latest version(16.3.2) will solve it.
If you have iOS 13 SDK on the Mac you'll need Visual Studio 16.3.2 or greater on your Windows machine.

VS2019 without Windows 8.1 SDK

I'm trying to run an already functional application that requires the Windows 8.1 SDK.
I installed Visual Studio 2019, but there is no option in the 8.1 SDK.
This is for a Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2019 last update.
On my old computer, there was the option to select in "Individual Components", but now no longer the encounter. Does anyone know if there is no such support on VS2019? Or is it necessary to install something more for the support to appear?
This is expected as it is marked as deprecated in Visual Studio 2019:
The Windows 8.1 SDK is no longer available in the Visual Studio
installer. Please upgrade your C++ projects to the latest Windows 10
SDK. If you have a hard dependency on 8.1, you can download it from
the Windows SDK archive.
So download and install the SDK from here.

"The installed Xamarin.iOS (version 10.3) on the Mac Unnamed Server (...) is not compatible with the local Xamarin.iOS (version 10.4)"

On my Windows box I have VS 2017, and on my Mac I have Xamarin Studio 6.2.
When I try to build an iOS project in Visual Studio on Windows, it complains that "The installed Xamarin.iOS (version 10.3) on the Mac Unnamed Server () is not compatible with the local Xamarin.iOS (version 10.4)".
However, in Help -> About in VS, it reports that the Xamarin.iOS is version 10.4.0.123. On the Mac, Xamarin Studio reports that I have version 10.4.0.128. Presumably, these should be compatible. I have tried to check for updates, as noted in other questions, but there are none available.
Any hints as to what is going on here?
Those versions are not in fact compatible. Xamarin builds for VS 2017 are currently 1 build behind those for the Mac. I recommend downgrading your Mac Xamarin iOS Version to 10..4.0.123, which you can get from the your Xamarin account Downloads page:
https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads#all-versions
Get the 10.4 version dated Feb 28th (or perhaps Mar 1 depending on your time zone) which is version 10.4.0.123 as installed in your VS 2017.
See this release note for more info:
https://releases.xamarin.com/category/xamarin-for-visual-studio/
and note this line in the above:
Do note that at the moment, Xamarin for Visual Studio 2017 is one build behind the version for Visual Studio 2015.
and thus is one build behind for Xamarin Studio on the Mac as well. So you can either downgrade your Mac to a matching version or go back to VS 2015.
