Answer 1

It has come extremely easy to use .net reactor with xamarin today:

1. from reactor ide install extension for your visual studio appropriate version (menu Visual Studio)

2. in reactor ide create a project for your xamarin solution. You can use menu "Protection Themes->Xamarin" or play with you own settings. Do not forget to add additional files (your Forms shared project and others needed). save project, note its path.

3. in Visual Studio ide menu Tools->Reactor Automation set:

• project file path to your Xamarin Android (or other needed) platform project, check Enabled.
• configuration to Release,
• Net Reactor Project file to the one that you created in step 2.

Click ok, that's it.

The build process would be MSBuild compiling, then reactor would apply its processing, then VS would pack/aot whatever was set for platform deployment/distribution.
