Hello, we are using ProGet to embed the pdb and the source in our NuGet packages. That works fine with all regular .NET environments but it seems that the Xamarin-Debugger is neither able to download the symbol file nor the source files.
So what is a working development scenario for Xamarin.Android under Windows in Visual Studio?
So far my observations are as follows:
- The old windows pdb file format is at least picked up by the debugger (of course without source support). Only works when a mdb is generated.
- The new portable pdb format works as long as the project is directly referenced. If you reference the output it stops working?!? It seems the mdb isn't necessary for that format anymore.
- Source code only works if it's present at the exact same location that is saved in the pdb. So that's total useless for debugging NuGet-packages.
Is there a roadmap to fully support portable pdb files (not only for referenced projects) WITH embedded source? That way it would be create simple NuGet-packages that don't need any kind of symbol/source-server because it's all there. With the embedded source the whole pdb would be kind of self contained.
