How to get the full information of runtime error instead of <Timeout exceeded getting exception details>?

So I'm trying out xamarin in VS2017, but found this undhandled error:
Unhandled Exception:
Java.Lang.SecurityException: <Timeout exceeded getting exception details>
This is very clueless. How can I get the full information of the runtime error like in Android Studio?

I had the same problem while calling some native API,
solved it by
Put a try catch around the block of got which is throwing the error.
Put a breakpoint in the catch block, you can get actual details of the exception.

After getting assistance from Microsoft, I finally found the solution.
TL;DR
Use VS Android device log and filter with "mono-rt" or "Error"
Complete Answer:
There are 2 solution:
1. Using Android Studio logcat:
Open the Android Studio logcat (View > Tool Windows > Logcat). From the logcat window, choose the device, choose the Xamarin.Android deployed application, and choose logcat for Error
Android logcat will display the runtime error:
2. Using Visual Studio Android Device Log:
Open the Visual Studio Android Device Log(Tools > Android > Device Log).
Here is the tricky bit: Unlike Android Studio, VS list all of the device log, not limited to the Xamarin.Android app deployed. So somehow we have to use the filter to get the relevant information. The problem is, what filter should we use? I used my application name and the error didn't show up. It turns out that when the error happen, the log doesn't contain any of the application name. Instead it has "mono-rt" tag with "Error" type.
So there you have it. Filter it with "mono-rt" tag or "Error" type and you will find the error information

Running Android Lint has encountered a... Failed. java.lang.NullPointerException

I just added Google Play Service Library to my project and when I am making a modification in one of my project files I am keep getting an error dialog from eclipse:
'Running Android Lint' has encountered a problem. Failed.
So, I enabled Error Log (Window -> Show View -> Error Log) tab and I found a warning and an error line:
Error:

and a Warning:
Fatal Error: No API database found at null
An exception stack trace is not available.
My application is working, but it is annoying to close the dialog each time I make an edit and save.

This is a workaround (not exactly the solution). In Window > Preferences > Android > Lint Error Checking, uncheck "When saving files check for errors".
EDIT:
Please use the above steps only if you don't care about linting your code. These steps are for turning off Lint checking, not correcting the reported lint errors.

I would suggest for you to check on the warnings on your project. Resolving them one by one may get rid of the startup error.

Error while trying to apportable iOS app to Android

I have been trying to port my first iOS app to Android with apportable.
I have solved alot of warnings and errors but cannot get rid of this last one.
The App I made is a fitness application for jogging so it uses CoreLocation.
Everything looks good when I run apportable now except this last error:
Build/android-armeabi-debug/com.apptonix.easyrunner/testTabbedWithCore/libtestTabbedWithCore.a(DetailViewController.m.o):/Users/peterbodlund/Documents/xcodeprojects/Training/inlamning5/testTabbedWithCore/testTabbedWithCore/DetailViewController.m:function L_OBJC_CLASSLIST_REFERENCES_$_114: error: undefined reference to 'OBJC_CLASS_$_MKPinAnnotationView'
scons: * [Build/android-armeabi-debug/EasyRunner/apk/lib/armeabi/libverde.so] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'pack'" in > ignored

Usually this is an indicator that there were link errors. Check your output higher up and look for missing symbol errors.
The build log is confusing because the build is parallel by default.
Add the option -j1 to cause the build to stop immediately after the first error.

Gradle Error for Android Studio

I'm trying out Android Studio on OS X and am running into a mysterious error message. I went through the Google guide to building a simple UI, but when I finished writing the XML file and hit Run in the IDE, I get the following message ("Test2" is the name of the project):
Gradle: Execution failed for task ':Test2:validateDebugSigning'.
> Could not find matching constructor for: org.gradle.tooling.BuildException(java.lang.String)
I have never developed an android app before, so I don't know how common this is. I did a search for this error and found no one encountering the same problem.
I tried the solution from Abhan and I get a new error message:
Error: org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.settings.GradleSettings cannot be cast to org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.settings.GradleSettings

It warns you that android plug-in task validateDebugSigning cannot access the debug key. Check your accessibility to the debug.keystore.
On linux or OS X, the default location is ~/.android. On windows, it's in C:\Documents and Settings\.android\ or C:\Users\.android.
