Unable to init ZXing on Android platform - Xamarin Forms application

Question

I am wondering if someone can help with my problem of initializing ZXing barcode reader on Android platform in my Xamarin Form application.

I successfully added ZXing.Net.Mobile and ZXing.Net libraries but when I try to initialize ZXing library on Android platform with the following code:

global::ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms.Android.Platform.Init();

It failes to find the required classes with error:

The type or namespace name 'Net' does not exist in the namespace 'ZXing' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

My references for Android project:

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Answer 1

I have updated ZXing.Net.Mobile and ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms libraries to version 2.1.0-beta1 and problem has been resolved.
