I am working on a xamarin forms application which targets android and ios. the app works fine when running both android and ios, but i also wanted to add support for UWP. I added a new project which targets windows and i have added all the packages and dependencies and all that was required, but i keep getting this error when i try to run the app.

Cannot resolve Assembly or Windows Metadata file 'Shared.dll'

and

Type universe cannot resolve assembly: Shared, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null.

I have no idea why i am getting this error, so if anyone has any information about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Could you share a simple sample that could reproduce this issue? - Nico Zhu - MSFT
I fixed the issue. it was a problem with one of classes in a different project in the solution. I don't really know what caused the issue, but I got it to work. - Hanne

I fixed the issue. it was a problem with one of the classes in a different project in the solution. I don't really know what caused the issue, but I got it to work by adding the class to a different part of the solution.
