I tried to use Jetbrains Rider IDE to develop a small app for my Android Wear 3 based smartwatch (Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro). But faced several obstacles in this regard.
I started with the Android SDK for version 33. But Rider supports only Version 31 at the moment. No sooner said than done. But then I get some conflicts with de OpenJDK. First started with version 13 than downgraded to version 11.
After this stage, I was able to create a new Wear project. But the available Android libraries for Xamarin seems to be left behind with version 28. And using this with the 31 SDKs seems to be incompatible.
On the official Xamarin / Microsoft website is only a KB article regarding the old Android Wear 2. No word about compatibility or roadmap to Android Wear 3.
I'm open to use Visual Studio for Mac or if really necessary to use Visual Studio 2022 on Windows, if there is more recent support for Android Wear development.
Do you have any experience or know whether Android Wear 3 is somehow supported?
