Cross platform app in Windows 7 using Visual Studio



Goal: to develop cross platform app for Android, Windows and iOS.



I have Visual Studio 2015 and Windows 7 including the Xamarin platform.



Problem is that when I create a new project with a blank app (Xamarin.forms portable), it doesn't create project for Windows phone. And when I create blank app (Xamarin.forms shared), it throws the following error:


This computer must be upgraded to windows 8.1 to load this project.



What do I have to do to create a cross platform app (that works on Android, iOS, Windows Phone) using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2015.





Btw why is this tagged with XamarinStudio when you are using VisualStudio?

You are getting error for Windows Phone project because Visual Studio(not Xamarin) doesn't support WP8/8.1 development on Windows 7 out of the box. Google "WP8 SDK on Windows 7".





I noticed that there are workaround for install sdk 8.0 in windows 7 but can't find one for sdk 8.1. Are the steps similiar?

WP 8.1 SDK is required window 8.1 or later. Then the best solution is upgrade your OS to Window 8.1





Is it work with you?
