Languages and frameworks: Xamarin

Last modified: 26 May 2024

JetBrains Rider supports creating and working with Xamarin applications for both Android and iOS. Although currently JetBrains Rider does not provide a designer or a previewer for Xamarin forms, you can still benefit from code analysis, coding assistance, and debugging features in C#, VB.NET, and other languages, as well as from general IDE features, such as the integrated VCS client.

If other tools that Xamarin relies on (for example, Android SDK, Android Emulator) are configured properly, you will be able to build, run, and publish your Xamarin application right from the JetBrains Rider IDE.

On macOS, JetBrains Rider provides synchronization with Xcode, which you will need to configure resources and targets, and to sign the applications.
