Search for previous versions of a Nuget from Xamarin Studio

Using Xamarin Studio on Mac, how can you list all the versions of a NuGet Package (current version, old versions).

What is the syntax for version when using the Package Manager GUI?

As an example, how can I list all and only the versions for MvvmCross - StarterPack (not just MvvmCross?

Solution

  • Mac Xamarin Studio 6.1 and later

    Readily available in a popup menu.

    Popup

    Mac Xamarin Studio (prior 6.1)

    Solution > Packages > Add Packages...

    nuggetIdentifier version:

    Search bar in Xamarin Studio

    Explanation

    • Use the NuGet id instead of the NuGet name
    • Use unspecified version to list all the available versions. Leading and trailing : required
    • Use specific version (version:4.1.6) for just that one

    Note

    The version: syntax is compatible with Show pre-release packages, but not with the quoted string search, such as "MvvmCross StarterPack".
