Mvvmcross 7.0.0: using MvvmCross.Forms.Platforms.Android.Core not found

Question

I want to clear some troubles with adding MVVM cross 7.0.0 in an empty project (Xamarin.Forms). I had followed this guide from MVVM cross docs: https://www.mvvmcross.com/documentation/tutorials/tipcalc/a-xamarin-forms-version By the way, they didn't add actual MVVM cross ver for this tutorial :( So now I'm facing issue with the invalid package name in Forms Android project, so I couldn't use "MvxFormsAndroidSetup" and "MvxFormsAppCompatActivity".

Does someone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

You are getting the error because your Android Project targetting monodroid9.0 or lower. When you're upgrading to MvvmCross 7.x, you have to set your Android-Target version to monodroid10.0 or higher. As you can see in the picture, with android 9, it didn't recognize the mvvmcross-nugget.

Look at the release-news to see all changes;
