The "Xamarin.Forms.Build.Tasks.GetTasksAbi" task could not be loaded from the assembly

Question

I was enjoying with Microsoft Visual studio 2017(Community version) latest version of xamarin forms. but randomly i got this error. Project Details: Xamarin forms using .NET Standard library. I have lot of effort to resolve it. even i have reinstall visual studio 3 times. but there is no success.

Answer 1

I had this Problem in past and After trying every thing the below solution worked for me

A solution library required the Microsoft.Bcl.Build package in the project that reference in your solution installed the package via nuget and it would start working

Hope it Works

Answer 2

I've also run into this error. Check that all your projects are targeting the same version of xamarin.

Answer 3

There are a few steps to fix that error:

1 - Check Xamarin.Forms version in all projects, it should be exactly the same.

2 - Clean Solution

3 - Restart Visual Studio

4 - If it doesn't work, go to the Folder and delete Bin and Obj folders.

Everytime I face a issue like that, usually these steps are more than enough.

As a last resort, you can Load and Unload the Projects in the Solution.
