could not load plugin assembly for type Cheesebaron.MvxPlugins.Settings.PluginLoader

Question

Please I am having the following problem Running my MVVMCross Application on a Windows Phone 8 Device

My Package Config is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
  <package id="Bulboss.MvvmCross.Plugins.UserInteraction" version="1.3.1" targetFramework="wp8" />
  <package id="Cheesebaron.MvxPlugins.Settings" version="2.1.0" targetFramework="wp8" />

  <package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="9.0.1" targetFramework="wp8" />
  <package id="WPtoolkit" version="4.2013.08.16" targetFramework="wp8" />
</packages>

I have the plugin bootstrapped as follows

 public class SettingsPluginBootstrap : MvxPluginBootstrapAction<Cheesebaron.MvxPlugins.Settings.PluginLoader>
    {

    }

And I use the Settings Plugin like so

public class SettingsService
    {

        private ISettings _settings;

        public SettingsService(ISettings settingsService)
        {
            _settings = settingsService;
        }
}

My windows Phone Application Constructor Is Setup as follows

 public App()
        {
            var setup = new Setup(RootFrame);
            setup.Initialize();
        }

But whenever setup.Initialize() is called. I get the followin exception

Answer 1

I was targeting Windows Phone 8.0 Silverlight. Turns out the the plugin does not support this platform
