Build

First step is to build ALCameraViewController: On a mac with regular development tools for iOS plus Xamarin development (I used Xcode 8.3 and VS for Mac 7), just run make at the project's directory. It will clone ALCameraViewController from github (more specifically from this fork: https://github.com/matheusneder/ALCameraViewController) and invoke project's make in order to build the framework.

Second step is to build the solution on Visual Studio. I built from VS 15.2 (2017).

To create a NuGet package: build the solution in Release mode and then, at project's directory, execute: NuGet pack Xamarin.iOS.CameraViewController.csproj -Prop Configuration=Release.
