Which Xamarin version do I have installed in Visual Studio?

I have used the self-contained installer for Xamarin for Windows here, but I have an issue that requires that I know the specific version of Xamarin that's installed. How do I find this information? (Note that I'm looking for the version of Visual Studio plug-ins, not Xamarin Studio).

You can check in Nuget Solutions Package Manager.

Everytime when you start a new project, Its advised to update Xamarin to the latest version. Have fun..

If you're using VS 2019, go to Tools | Nuget Package Manager | Manage Nuget Packages for Solutions | Click Installed Tab and there you will find your Xamarin.Forms by Microsoft version details. In my case as I post this answer current stable is 5.0.0.2012

You can find the version of your Xamarin plug-ins for Visual Studio by going to "Help" -> "About Microsoft Visual Studio" in VS, and scrolling down to the Xamarin plug-ins.

Note that Xamarin consists of many different software packages that don't follow the same version numbering: The main Visual Studio plug-in, a plug-in for Android development and a plug-in for iOS development. In addition, there's Xamarin Studio and the individual API/SDK packages required for Android/iOS development.

In case it's relevant for you, Xamarin has a detailed guide for where to find various logs and debug information that's relevant to Xamarin development. You can find this at
