Hi Albert,

Apologize for the inconvenience caused. We've tested the installers on our Macs intensively, but nevertheless, there could be certain different environment settings that may cause unexpected issues.

The issue seems related to the failure to install the item templates for Mac. Which version of Xamarin Studio installed in your end?

Also could you please check the install.log in /var/log? You can paste only the error related to the Crosslight installer.

We will try our best to resolve any reported issues as soon as we can. Thanks!

Thanks for answering. I post you the required information asap.

By the way, my first name is Thomas.

Sure Thomas, looking forward to your log information.

Thanks!

Hello Support,

my Xamarin Studio version on the Mac is 5.5.4 (build 15). This should be the latest stable version.

In the attachment you find the install.log. I hope this information helps to solve the problem.

Thanks,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for posting the log file, it's really helpful for us to analyze the problem.

We have found the cause of the issue. An updated installer will be posted shortly. We will keep this thread updated as the new installer is available.

Hello Thomas,

An updated installer is now available for download. Please download the Mac setup again from the same download link.

Please update how it goes in your end.

Thanks!

Hello Support,

I just downloaded and started the new installer. Now, the installation process was successfull.

Question: What about this feature "Crosslight Project Wizard for Mac OS", which is mentoined in the Crosslight roadmap? I don't see a project wizard in Xamarin studio on the Mac.

Thanks,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Glad to hear that the updated installer now work flawlessly.

The Crosslight Project Wizard for Mac was dropped in this release due to the complexity and many aspects related to our backend infrastructure, update mechanism, etc. The project wizard is rescheduled to ship in the next service pack release of Crosslight.

Hi Nelson,

Project Wizard for Xamarin Mac is not yet available, meanwhile we suggest you to use Project Wizard from Visual Studio then move the project directory to Mac

Project Wizard is a planned feature for Crosslight 4, you can check more about Crosslight 4 in Crosslight Roadmap for 2015 which scheduled to live by the end of this week.

I'll update this thread with the link of the Crosslight roadmap.

Hi Nelson,

This our 2015 roadmap, you can read it here 

Hope you are excited for our future release! :)
