title: Has anyone successfully built Xamarin.Forms with gitlab-ci?
body: <p>I am working on a pet project with Xamarin.Forms and am wondering if anyone has had experience with configuring gitlab-ci.yml builds successfully. There seems to be limited material on configuring for .NET builds in general, trying my luck at building one successfully before stringing together both builds. Have tried per-project .csproj for build path.</p>
  
  <p>Any insight and experience would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Current .gitlab-ci.yml</p>
