Although the Xamarin pricing page shows that Visual Studio support only comes with the Business Edition, this only applies to iOS and Android. This may seem like you need to have the Business Edition to do this but that is not the case. If you want to develop for Windows Phone then you need to use Visual Studio. I don’t really understand the logic here but I do think Xamarin need to reconsider this as it is only going to hamper and annoy most developers. This allows me to develop Xamarin Forms applications using Xamarin Studio for both these platforms, but not using Visual Studio. It is however a bit crazy that we have start negotiating special discounts just because the price is way to high in the first place. I have an Indie licence for both iOS and Android, for which I managed to negotiate a discount as a small business.

However, in the meantime this post will show you how to use Visual Studio to develop Xamarin Forms Applications using the Indie licence without purchasing the Business Edition If Xamarin does include Visual Studio Community support with the Indie licence then it will be great news for individual developers and small businesses who will no longer need to purchase the costly Business edition ($999 per platform) or be confined to using Xamarin Studio.
It is still unclear what this means for Xamarin Forms which is currently only available with the Indie licence and above. This week Xamarin announced support for Visual Studio Community in the Starter edition.
