MVVMCross Vee Three Solution - mvvmcross

This could be a really dumb question, but I just can't seem to open the v3 solution file.
I experienced something similar on the vNext, but after an hour or so it resolved itself and seem to set itself up ok for future access. This v3 has been running overnight and still not loaded.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Lee

Really you need to supply more information - what operating system are you on? Which development environment(s)? Which SDKs do you have installed?
V3 is currently being developed in Xamarin Studio (v4.0.2) on the Mac for iOS and on a custom build of Xamarin iOS and Droid plugged into VS2012 Ultimate on the PC - with WP7.1 and WP8 SDKs both installed, and with resharper (and a smattering of other code too)
I've checked in a lot of code in the last 24 hours - so it's worth getting the latest again from source control and seeing if that helps.
If it doesn't then is there any more information published to the output windows about what is going wrong? I've personally had a lot of problems and a lot of wasted time with the Xamarin plugins in VS2012 - the activation modules are a nightmare (which is why I have a custom build currently installed)

libgdx to windows phone using bridge

Windows Phone got my attention recently with making iOS and Android apps convertible to Windows Phone apps using Windows Bridge. I am eager to know if libgdx support translation to windows phone apps with Bridge tools? Has anyone any experience with it?
Well, the bridge is under construction still so you're not likely to get much feedback here. LIBGDX hasn't concentrated on Window's phone, but I think they've created an x86 DLL for some of their unmanaged code a while back. Not sure on the status of that.
I used a similar bridge technology for Blackberry in the past. The process was simple and only required installing plugins and executing a conversion tool on my Android APK. No code changes.
However the site for the Window's phone bridge says minimal code changes may be required. I'd speculate the process will be extremely simple so as to encourage releases of popular apps onto their platform. If Microsoft makes the process complicated, developers aren't going to bother.

Can ELMAH be used in Xamarin solutions?

Reading this today, and probably embarking on a Xamarin solution very soon (the other possibility is "going native" with just Android, using Android Studio), I got to wondering:
Can ELMAH be used in Xamarin solutions?
And, in fact, if the road less taken (Android Studio) is chosen, what tool is there for Android/Java projects that that most closely resembles ELMAH's advantages?
It does:
Although the Elmah.IO NuGet's latest release doesn't support
Xamarin.Forms cross-platform logging, I have used it in my
Android/iOS/UWP projects' exception handling separately by following instructions here.
Here you can find out descriptions about the
pre-release elmah.io for Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms.
No. ELMAH is very specifically targeted for ASP.NET.
Error/crash logging solutions for Xamarin include Raygun, Crashlytics, and TestFlight.

TideSDK and dependency on SDK

I'm very very new to HTML5 programming, so forgive me if I ask a strange question. I'm looking for a good tool to write apps the can be run on iPhone, Android and the most known webbrowsers on a desktop. I came across TideSDK and I was a bit confused by the fact that it has SDK in the title. Does this mean that the SDK is part of anything I will create with it?
Do I have to distribute the SDK along with the App I create and wouldn't that be a problem when wanting to freely distribute my application?
Regards
Gabrie
Well there are two ways to build the application
1) with package.
With package works as stand alone application without any dependencies or anything other things installed.
2) without package.
The think you were saying is right. They need to have modules to be installed.

objective j loads slowly in browsew

I am iOS developer. I know just a couple of languages and I hate html because of the lack of possibilities there.. I've just red about objective-j. When I try to open any code in web browser (last versions of Safari, Google Chrome) it loads increadibly slow..
Is it normal?
How to make it work fast?
Are there any other languages similar to c, objective-c that I can use for creating a web-site?
And another queastion coming with: How can I make Xcode work with objective-j? I use coda 2.0 at the moment.
Make sure you run jake deploy to create the stripped and precompiled version of the app you're testing. Most sample code out there will be run in uncompiled "debug" mode which is great when you're developing but in actual deployment you'll want the precompiled version of your app.
Also, the current development version of Cappuccino and Objective-J is much faster than the last release 0.9.6, thanks to a new, better compiler. Keep an eye out for a future Cappuccino 0.9.7 release.
I think if you write a significant app in Cappuccino you'll find the load time to be absolutely comparable with other large web apps such as Gmail.
Currently you can only use Xcode to edit the user interface of a Cappuccino app. It does not work well to edit Cappuccino code itself since the latest versions of Xcode don't include the necessary plugin framework. You can learn more about good editor options in the development environment tutorial.
I am not familiar with other languages similar to Objective-C for the web, but Intel has an Objective-C to JavaScript compiler here.

Does mvvmcross support windows phone 8?

I'm working my way through the MMVMCross Tip Calculator tutorial.
Got an Android instance up and running and have now turned my attention to Windows Phone 8.
So far, I can't find the Cirrious.MvvmCross.Plugins.Json assembly in the WindowsPhone bin folder, and I'm also having issues with the CreateApp() method not being able to resolve the Core.App class (there are a bunch of suggestions for chasing down the Core namespace but none of them have an App class inside that I can see).
When I comb through the docs it seems WP7 is supported explicitly, but no mention of 8. Anybody have any luck getting this scenario going? Is there a hack I'm missing?
After installing the Nuget package (The HotTuna Startup) in an Andriod project, I was unable to build and was getting the same problem in the CreateApp() where Core is not resolved. I had missed adding the package MVVMCross.Core and MvvmCross - Hot Tuna Libraries (which added the app.cs) to my core PCL library. Those Nuget packages are a great way to get started!
It's obvious now, but maybe this will help someone else.
Yes, Windows Phone 8 is supported, but there's no specific extensions for WP8 yet (e.g. we still use the Community C# SQLite code)
The Core.App class should be in your Core/application project. e.g. in the tutorial it's in https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/tree/vnext/Sample%20-%20Tutorial/Tutorial/Tutorial.Core
