Build Issues

If you have any problems getting the samples to build or run, here are some general tips.

This is what I recommend trying first:

  • Update Visual Studio 2017 to the latest version
  • Ensure that all of the Xamarin components for Visual Studio are installed.
  • Release will not build unless you turn off signing on each project that has signing.
  1. Pull latest on master (outside of Visual Studio - Leave it closed until the last step)
  2. Clear NuGet cache
  3. Make sure you have no uncommitted changes.
  4. Do a Git clean on the repo. Make sure you remove all untracked files.

git clean -x -f -d

  1. Open Visual Studio and open the appropriate solution in the src folder.
  2. Make sure you are in Debug build mode.
  3. Restore NuGet packages. Make sure that all packages are restored before trying to build.
  4. Try building in Debug again
  5. Repeat from step 1 with develop branch. Note: from time to time, the develop branch will be slightly out from the master branch. It's worth trying both.
  • If you do still get an error, please document it up with as much detail, and put a question on Stack Overflow. Tag it with "usb, hid", mention "Device.Net" and any tags for your OS etc.
  • If you do put a question on Stack Overflow, please reference it in an issue on this repo.
