I am new to Xamarin Forms. In a Xamarin form page I want to set a background image.

  1. Do I need to store it in PCL or platform specific projects and what are pros and cons for saving in PCL or platform specific.
  2. Do I need to have same image with different resolutions to fit across different devices and different platforms??

background image in a Xamarin form

public class MainPage : ContentPage{

    public MainPage()
    {
        this.Title = "Example";

        this.BackgroundImage = "EmpMgmtPCL.Images.NPO-Events-bg.png";
    }
}

1) if your working in a cross platform app. PCL y a great alternative. Pross one delopment for multiple os. Cons I don't see any cons yet.
