Issue to reference in shared project in Xamarin

Question

I have just create a cross platform application in Xamarin. I created one function in a shared project in which it deserializes the JSON string into object/s but there is no way to add reference for Newtonsoft .

how can i use the reference in shared project ?

Answer 1

If you are using VS just click on tool-> Nuget package manager -> Manage Nuget package for solution and Install Newtonsoft.json after select all the platform in checkbox.

Now you can use it in your share project also.

Answer 2

In a shared project you'll use the references that are in the Android or iOS project. Thats why it's a shared project. Just add the refrence from nuget to your Android and iOS project and you should be good.
