updating xamarin.forms and xamarin.android

2
votes

I am developing in xamarin.forms for android and ios

I have upgrade to to latest xamarin.forms package 2.3.0.107 in the pcl and it works fine - no compilation errors.

when I try to upgrade the xamarin.android to the same version I get lots of packages error.

I have seen in some posts that there is not need to upgrade the xamarin.android because the xamarin.forms knows to take the latest / most suitable package of amarin.android. is it true ?

The default xamarin.android is from januray 2016 which is quite old...

Here are the list of errors I get...

Have you tried deleting (back it up first to the desktop or something, just in case) your AppData\Local\Xamarin folder along with a clean/rebuild on your project? - Paul

Try erase this file C:\Users\asaf\AppData\Local\Xamarin\zips\2A3A8A6D6826EF6CC653030E7D695C41.zip and build again

The error message tells you pretty explicitly what the error is:

C:\Users\dev\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Android.Support.v4\21.0.3\android_m2repository_r10.zip is not a valid zip file How to fix it

Please download https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/android_m2repository_r10.zip and extract it to the C:\Users\dev\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Android.Support.v4\21.0.3\content directory.
