Download & Install: Install the Xamarin Android player for OS X or Windows to debug on an Android simulator.

Google Play Services & Maps: Xamarin CRM utilizes Google Maps and Google Play Services. It is possible to install these services yourself by using sources like those from CyanogenMod.

Download the zip file, unlock the Android Player, and drag and drop the zip file onto the Android Player. Restart and update apps, and install Google Maps from the Play store.

Note: The Android Player cannot run inside a virtual machine or over Remote Desktop or VNC since it relies on virtualization and OpenGL. If you are running a virtual Windows instance on a Mac host, run Android Player for OS X on the Mac host. The Windows instance will be able to connect via ADB (see below).

4. Physical Device Setup

6. Setup Android Google Maps API key

If maps do not show up on the Android version of the app, make sure you have followed the steps in the “Pre-Requisites: Xamarin Android Player” (above).

If the maps still do not render, you may need to generate your own API key for Google Maps API v2. Instructions on how to do this are located here:
