I have a project that uses the Google Play Services component and therefore requires that the JavaMaximumHeapSize be set to 1G.
Prior to installing Xamarin for VS 2.0, this project would build fine with JavaMaximumHeapSize set to 1G. Now that I've installed Xamarin For VS 2.0, the project no longer builds in Visual Studio. When building in Visual Studio I now receive the following error...
COMPILETODALVIK : UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL error :
This is the error one normally receives when JavaMaximunHeapSize is not set to a large enough value.
If I open this same project in Xamarin Studio it builds just fine.
This leads me to believe that Xamarin for VS 2.0 is not honoring the JavaMaximunHeapSize setting.
My machine setup is...
Windows 7 64-bit
Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 Version 12.0.21005.1 REL / Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.5.50938
Xamarin for Visual Studio 2.0.100.0 / Xamarin.Android 4.12.4.12 / Xamarin.iOS 2.0.100.0
