Creates an empty project (Android + iOS + Shared Portable Class Library (PCL)). Majority of code can be abstracted and contained in the PCL, with the option to get platform-specific in the Android and iOS projects.
📓 Proposal / 🤓 Implementation
Created an empty (not Xamarin.Forms) Android + iOS + PCL project in Visual Studio For Mac Preview
⚖️ Alternatives
XamarinStudio: I've tried Visual Studio for Mac Preview, as it sounds like where Microsoft's heart is at, post-Xamarin-acquisition; if we do encounter a deal-breaker with Visual Studio for Mac Preview, it looks possible to migrate to XamarinStudio instead. Finally, Visual Studio for Mac Preview states it has equivalent functionality to XamarinStudio
Xamarin.Forms: Before knowing our requirements, I opted to not start with Xamarin.Forms, as camera-related functionality sounded like it could stray into the territory where we do need more platform-specific access
