Dear Telerik Team.
First of all: Thank you for including the Xamarin stuff in my subscription.
Eager to try it I started a prototype project.
Then I ran into an error. But your ticket system didn't want me to send it. :) Here ist the ticket message:
I tried to install the VS4MAC extension, but it failed. As described
here: https://developer.telerik.com/featured/ui-xamarin-deep-dive-starting-strong/.
I installed the nuget and downloaded the lastest zip file. Version
Telerik_UI_for_Xamarin_2017_3_913_3_Dev.
Trying to install the mpack gives my the enclosed error message. It seems the mpack isn't updated yet.
Besides that your ticket system tells me: "Message required". But I wrote a
message. Maybe it didn't like the pasting in of my screenshot. I'll try
attaching it as file.
No. Didn't work. I restart the tiket submission. Maybe it works now.
No. I'll select the option OS parameter. Maybe now.
Kind regards
Bernd

I would like to turn your attention to the fact the reported message is a warning, not an error. You should be able to use the extensions with no concerns.
Please give them a try and let us know how it goes.

Dear Pavel.
Thank you for your response. I gave it a try, but the extension is grayed out.
Kind regards
Bernd
Would it be possible to provide a short recording of the exact behavior that you are observing so we can further advise you?

Dear Stfan.
Sorry for the delay. I am soon on a vacation and guess what: the whole world "needs" a lot of work done before I leave. I'll try to deliver more details after my vacation.
Kind regards
Bernd
Thanks for the update. Take the needed time at your end and inform us once you are ready.

The reason for that error message is because the mpack is built for Xamarin Studio (which uses Mono 6.x), not Visual Studio for Mac (which uses Mono 7.x). Although you can still use many extensions across both, you will see that message when installing it (not just the UI for Xamarin one)
If you're not seeing the Telerik project templates under the .NET > Miscellaneous tab, then take the following steps:
1 - Go back to the "Extensions..." dialog again
2 - Expand IDE
3 - Find and select the Telerik item
4 - Click the Disable button and then click it again to re-enable the extension
5 - At this point, you can go back to File > New project and find the Telerik project template under the NET > Miscellaneous tab.
We are working towards creating one for Visual Studio for Mac. However, for now, that is the only available option when using a Mac.
