Yes - it took a while, but most of that was swearing at emulators.
I've got it running on Windows aps (8.1 in theory), my Android tablet and the Android emulator (though that's gawd awful slow).
It's a good framework, I think - difficult to tell, I hardly know it - and it has a huge potential if they develop it a bit. One app to write in C# and you get Windows, Windows Phone, Android and iOS? That could work to save WP from the dumping ground it seems headed for.
But it needs a designer for that.

Use the Visual Studio emulator.

MS has never been able to figure out how to handle all the different resolutions and aspect ratios of screens, so no, I don't think they'll try very hard to fix this. Their position has pretty much always been to either let a layout manager do the work, or to have you write code to position the controls where you want them on the different form factors and resolutions you choose to support. Seems Xamarin forms took that same attitude and ran with it.
Thwarting WinForms to allow designer to be used to make multiple layouts and allow switching between them at runtime was interesting code to write. I can see why nobody has wanted to do it.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

If a frog leaps off a cliff, is he trying to Kermit suicide?

This discussion came up at work today, with pretty much everyone falling on the side of using multiple assemblies, but with no viable reason for doing it that way, and most of the time saying, "because I've always done it that way".
Beyond utility methods or object extensions living in assemblies that could be added as a reference and that could be used throughout other solutions, what's the point of creating multiple assemblies when a thoughtful arrangement of folders in a single-project solution would be perfectly adequate? It even appears as if Microsoft intended for it to be this way.
I suppose an argument could be made in a team environment to more clearly separate concerns and ease source control issues, but even that's kinda flimsy at the heart of it.
