How to start? Value cannot be null error?

[Lyndon Hughey]

Hello.  I've downloaded your Xamarin.Forms sample project and I've loaded it into visual studio 2013 and connected to my Xamarin build server on my mac.  I'm unable to cleanly build the application (using the CircularGaugeSample.IOS as the default project).  I continually get an error that states 

Error 1 Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: project 0 0

I'm wondering if this is associated to the fact that I've received a registration code, but Ive not been prompted to register any of your components in your sample.  Am I missing something?  I don't see any readme files contained in the sample.

I've attached an image with the compile error. 

thanks,

Lyndon

Hi Lyndon,

Thanks for the provided information. It helped very much.

We are unable to reproduce the mentioned issue with iOS build host. We have prepared a simple SfCircularGauge sample and followed below links to host Xamarin App in iOS from Visual studio. Please refer the below sample and Xamarin developer links.

Sample Link: SfGauge_Xamarin.zip


Xamarin Developer Links
http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/installation/windows/#Configuring_The_Mac

http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/installation/windows/troubleshooting/

And also we are trying to reproduce the issue in different configuration machines. It will be helpful, if you can provide us the steps you have followed to host iOS app to reproduce the issue along with screenshots (if possible). So that we can analyze more on your requirement and update you the possible solution.

Please let us know, if you have any queries.

Regards,
Nijamudeen M.

Thank you for looking into this.  I was able to reproduce this issue using another project, which points to it not being a configuraiton problem with your project/compoenent.  I was able to get your sample running today.  Thank you for all of your help!
