I'm developing a multi-platform PCL App with Xamarin.Forms using this sqlite-pcl package, as show in this sample.
WARNING
The nuget site of the PCL library contains a wrong link on the left, when you go to Project Site - it points to the SQLite-net site... So I don't even know what the correct Sqlite-PCL link would be...
It worked just fine until this morning, when I tried to install some other packages (note that I didn't touch sqlite packages at first). All of a sudden, my app crashed at first DB access saying that
System.IO.FileLoadException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'SQLite-net, Version=1.4.118.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Well, ok, I started searching forums, trying to find which part could be the source of the issue - just nothing helped - uninstalling and re-installing the package, rebooting, manually deleting all references to that dll I found and recompiling, re-deploying... I'm actually stuck, I tried Fuslogvw without succes... I am quite desperate about this - any suggestion as to how I could find the origin of the problem?
Technical details: - VS Community 2017 - Build configuration: Debug - Any CPU - UWP on locale maching - is there any other relevant data?
OK, after hours of searaching, and thanks to @yuri-s, I re-installed the SQLite.Net.Async-PCL package. I had to update some using clauses, but eventually, I seem to get there.
However, I am stuck with one last point: I need to create the DB connection using platform-specific assembly in this specific library - but I couldn't find what the code in the approach suggested here (last post). But I couldn't figure out what code was supposed to get into the dependency interface of each OS (SQLite.Net.Platform does not seem to exist in that package).
Alltogether, the SQLite-PCL packages are quite confusing - I think that the community would benefit from a clear distinction of them...!
