I was trying to create a common library for using HttpClient to consume an API. I was planning to make it in .net standard so as to share it with my xamarin.forms project right now and any future ones. However the highest version of .net standard I managed to use was 1.0. HttpClient needs standard2.0. I have included the latest version of .netstandard nuget into my xamarin.forms.
I have noticed that xamarin.forms runs in net4.5. According to the documentations the max I can go with this is standard1.1. Is there any work around around these to a .net standard common project or is my only option to make a .net framework project/xamarin portable library?
I did manage to get HttpClient working in .net standard after manually importing the class. It needed an additional reference which is why it threw an error when I downgraded from .netcore.
This seems to work sometimes and throws reference errors other times. These errors go when I close and re-open visual studios.
