I have installed Visual Studio 2017. I try to create application using mvvm cross. I sucessfully added mvvm cross library, but when I try to install MvvmCross.Plugin.DownloadCache package I got this:

Could not install package 'Xamarin.Android.Support.Compat 24.2.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

To install Xamarin.Android.Support.Compat your application must target Android 7.0 or higher.

To fix this:

  • In Visual Studio:

    1. Right Click project > Properties > Application
    2. Set Target to 7.0 or higher, a good idea is also to Compile using Latest Platform

  • In Xamarin Studio:

    1. Right Click project > Options > Android Application
    2. Set Target to 7.0 or higher, a good idea is also to Compile using Latest Platform
