namespace Xamarinsampleandroidapp

{
    [Application]
    public class MainApp : Application
    {
        protected MainApp(IntPtr javaReference, JniHandleOwnership transfer)
        : base(javaReference, transfer)
        {
        }
        public override void OnCreate()
        {
            base.OnCreate();
            new Instabug.Builder(this, "TOKEN").SetInvocationEvents(InstabugInvocationEvent.FloatingButton, InstabugInvocationEvent.Shake).Build();
