Xamarin Android/Studio Bugs

Writing these down as I encounter them:

  1. If you have a .userprefs file, it will almost always freeze upon startup. Fix is to delete it
  2. Licensing is broken unless you're running as Xamarin Studio as an administrator
  3. If you have a space before the first tag(but after the ?xml bit) you'll get an exception thrown upon saving which appears to prevent saving...sometimes
  4. VI-mode is a long running joke. Instead of working, it just rickrolls you

All on Windows 8 64-bit
