use the [run] section for this purpose.

[Run]

Maybe a non-CLSCompliant exception is thrown and Catch(Exception e) will not catch it.
You actually need a catch {balh blah;}, notice the lack of brackets...

You'll need to host the server side API somewhere. Azure and AWS are the best, I prefer Azure. You can get a free Azure account to get started, google Azure Media Services
You'll need a Mac to compile the iOS version, any recent enough Mac will do. A second hand 2 or 3 years old mac mini is enough.
You'll need a secondary monitor, it is optional but it will make things much easier.
good luck.

Well... I disagree a bit. If you plan to use Xamarin and you want to build an Android and an iOS app, your laptop won't be enough, and by far. First, you will also need a Mac, and pretty decent one too as you will need to be able to install a recent version of OSx and Xcode and all the libraries needed for Xamarin to compile the iOS version, anything over 4 or 5 years old won't cut it. Assuming you currently have a Windows laptop you will need one that has Hyper-V enabled so that rules out the Home edition of Windows, further if you want to use the Android emulator to test/debug then a second monitor is a must. Also make sure to use the Microsoft emulator it is 10 times faster than the google crappy one.
In conclusion, a 6 or 7 years old laptop might work but it will be a real pain to use and not good enough if you do an Android/iOS app. My advice, get a decent piece of kit it is well worth the investment.
