Xamarin: Same Day Xamarin Support for Visual Studio 2015

Today, Microsoft is unveiling the final release of Visual Studio 2015 in a global webcast, and we are joining the celebration! Now Released to Market (RTM) for full use in production, Visual Studio 2015 includes many new features and improvements that make it easier to build apps quickly, including diagnostics, new C# 6 language features, and tighter integrations with TFS for streamlined DevOps.

We’re excited to announce same-day Xamarin support for Visual Studio 2015, including Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, MSFT’s free IDE for non-enterprise apps. Xamarin and Visual Studio help you go mobile quickly, whether you’re building small projects, amazing consumer games, or employee-facing productivity apps. This combination of Xamarin and Visual Studio 2015 is our most integrated release ever – featuring a Visual Studio 2015 installation process that allows you to choose to install Xamarin with a single click, giving you everything you need to start building native cross-platform apps, all in C#.

Be sure to check out the Visual Studio 2015 launch webcast today at 8:30am PDT, where MSFT product management teams will demonstrate Visual Studio 2015 product enhancements, including the latest from Xamarin.

It’s never been easier to start building iOS and Android apps — all from VS, all in C#. To learn more about developing native iOS and Android apps with Visual Studio and Xamarin, visit xamarin.com/visual-studio.
