Xamarin forms android: Could not determine API level for $(TargetFrameworkVersion) of 'v8.1'

Getting following error when rebuilding xamarin forms android project.

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(2,2): Error XA0000: Could not determine API level for $(TargetFrameworkVersion) of 'v8.1'. (XA0000) (Myproject.Android)

Found the same issue in some other threads. The solution on there is open .csproj file and change AndroidUseLatestPlatformSdk from True to False, and rebuild. I found this solution on here and here.

But I don't know which .csproj file need to modify? Can some one tell it more clearly?
