    Yep I saw that one, too - however afaik, you have to bring along your own mac (with xamarin installed) tfs vnext build agent along for that, see https://github.com/Microsoft/vso-agent-tasks#configure

    As the tfs vnext build agent tasks are open source now, the steps performed underneath for such builds are available here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vso-agent-tasks/tree/master/Tasks/XamariniOS

    Do you know if that "activate" step works for shared build environment too? I heard Xamarin license is bound to computer and is getting locked after few activations.

    Not totally sure, but overall I know there's a 4 computer limit for activating licenses.

    That said, there's a deactivate step too:

    https://github.com/Microsoft/vso-agent-tasks/tree/master/Tasks/XamarinLicense

    So someone using it would need a spare activation available, then would activate/deactivate their own instance.

    Also, to build a Xamarin.iOS class library, you don't need a mac; you only need the Xamarin.ios tools installed for VS. If you want an IPA file, then you do need a mac for that.

    Even without a mac, being able to build Xamarin.iOS libraries on a PC (which you can do without that mac connection), would be very valuable for OSS libraries that have Xamarin support.

    Guys, you may want to try it out: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/lang/xamarin (it's on new OSS workers for now).

    @Oren - thanks for the hint ;)
