Take a look to documentation. You must have "adb" on your PC and get the logcat from your phone (you can also use Android Studio to get it). Xamarin apps are native apps, so they write their logs to logcat

You have to connect your phone to your pc, execute "adb logcat" (follow the manual) and download the logcat file from your phone to your pc, than take a look to the logcat
