Today was a great day for dequehead. After several years of battling with the Android NDK and Eclipse, he has finally got a realistic Android build system working in Visual Studio 2015 RC.
C++ debugging works without any effort and is reasonably fast. Emulators work, as does deployment to a device. There is a nice NativeActivity shell and OpenGL is all set up ready to rock.
The blurb says that iOS builds can be made to work the same way, although obviously the compilation and execution has to happen on OSX (VS ships with a remote debugger and build server thingy, which presumably runs the Xcode build chain). I will blog about that when I try it out.
