Ok, makes sense, at least I understand the reality of the situation better. I do greatly appreciate your assistance.
I will pass this information on to Xamarin, if there is anything I can do to assist in pushing Xamarin towards a fix please let me know.
For what it is worth, I went so far as uninstalling every Xamarin product on my machine and reinstalling from just their latest stable build to make sure something wasn’t broken in the “upgrading” process from version to version.
I am currently running the following in Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4
Xamarin 3.11.445.0 (5061f92)
Xamarin.Android 5.1.0.115 (d23da369e436488f38c8ab8fe8a9ae7d9ea5256b)
Xamarin.iOS 8.10.0.0 (7741cc495ab0baf04ff0405d0604bc27f0ecae2e)
Thanks
M
