Initialize XLabs in Windows Phone 8.1


I have just added a Windows Phone 8.1 project to my Xamarin app project, but now I can't figure out how to initialize XLabs in it, as it can't find XFormsAppWP, so I can't follow the guide at XLabs's website.
I am using XLabs v. 2.0.5783-pre01.
Can somebody help me?


Solution

  • When installing Xlabs you must install the nuget in each project that you have. I've tested now with the Xamarin.Forms 2.2.0.31 with the XLabs.Forms 2.2.0-pre02 in a WP8.1 project.

    In your App.xaml.cs place this:

    var app = new XFormsAppWin();
    app.Init(this); 
    

    Below the line:

    Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e);
    

    And add this:

    using XLabs.Forms;
