Cannot install Nuget package for Android #10

JohnMcAvinue · 2015-12-17T13:11:58Z

I'm trying to install the 1.1.1 version using Nuget but I'm getting this error:

Could not install package 'Microsoft.Bcl.Build 1.0.14'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I'm using VS2015. Perhaps it's related to this bug with Nuget?

NuGet/Home#1707

aaustin · 2015-12-21T23:12:41Z

@JohnMcAvinue What version of Nuget are you using? We've never seen this error before unfortunately. Can you try adding it with Xamarin Studio, then migrating it to VS?

JohnMcAvinue · 2015-12-22T09:50:48Z

@aaustin Hi Alex, I can't find anything from Branch.io on the Component Store? I just updated to the latest version of Nuget package manager and I'm still getting the same error

aaustin · 2015-12-22T16:58:20Z

Hey @JohnMcAvinue - This is the one you're looking for I believe https://www.nuget.org/packages/Branch-Xamarin-Linking-SDK. There's an engineer working to try to replicate the issue you're seeing now.

JohnMcAvinue · 2015-12-22T17:25:00Z

@aaustin Hi Austin, that is the Nuget package I am having problems with. Here's the Nuget console log when I try to install:

Package Manager Console Host Version 3.3.0.167

Hello @JohnMcAvinue
Try this solution:

Install package Microsoft.Bcl.Build.1.0.21 at first
Then install package Branch-Xamarin-Linking-SDK

JohnMcAvinue · 2016-01-04T09:20:00Z

That worked for me thanks

kevindfs · 2016-05-14T23:08:44Z

antonargunov · 2016-05-14T23:33:52Z

HI @aswathigi ,
I have several questions:

what platform? (iOS, Android)
what type of project? (cross-platform, iOS, Android)
Xamarin or VS 2015?

Note: Branch Xamarin SDK doesn't support Windows mobile platforms

HI @aswathigi , sorry for delay.
For my curiosity, I tried to create Cordova + Ionic project, but I have the same issue.
As I understand that is trouble with Window Mobile Universal/Window Mobile 8.1.
Try to find solution with Microsoft + Ionic community. Or try to delete support Window Mobile platforms.
Sorry but I can't help you with your issue.

kevindfs · 2016-05-22T13:40:27Z

Hi @aswathigi ,
Try this solution:

Install package Microsoft.Bcl.Build.1.0.21 at first
Install package Microsoft.Bcl 1.1.9
Install package WindowsAzure.MobileServices
Regards,
Kevin Farías

aswathigi · 2016-05-23T05:02:27Z

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for your mail and info. I have installed Microsoft.Bcl.Build.1.0.21.
The other 2 i was not able to install. It is giving me errors;
"Attempting to gather dependency information for package
'Microsoft.Bcl.Async.1.0.168' with respect to project 'BlankCordovaApp3',
targeting 'MDD,Version=v8.1'".

My actual requirement is to connect to a share point site and get list of
items for mobile apps. Please let me know if you have any alternative
options.

Regards,
Aswathi

So broken xD Thank for the solution !

Sadly, I found this error when I'm trying to install the Brach-Xamarin-Linking-SDK 3.0.5

Could not install package 'Branch-Xamarin-Linking-SDK 3.0.5'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile259', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

aaustin · 2017-02-20T17:16:34Z

@antonargunov Can you take a look here?

antonargunov · 2017-02-20T18:10:24Z

Hi @deanilvincent ,
we use PCL profile 78.

You should delete WindowPhone 8.1 In PCL project from Targets to change PCL profile from 259 to 78:

Uninstall Xamarin Forms package (if you use Xamarin Forms)
Delete WindowPhone 8.1 from Targets
Install Xamarin Forms package (if you use Xamarin Forms)

Hi,
Sadly, I have a similiar error to JohnMcAvinue, here is the detail:

PM> install-package xmlrpcnet -Version 2.5.0

You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v5.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I´ve already installed succesfully the package Microsoft.Bcl.Build.1.0.21. But I´m still getting the same error above.

I have the 3.4.4 nuget version. Using VS2015 in the Android platform.

Do you have any ideas?

Emixam23 · 2017-05-05T20:43:00Z

Hey guys, sorry to back back that late !

I found a solution, that's weird but it works.

So you have 3 packages that are:
-Microsoft.Bcl
-Microsoft.Bcl.Build
-Microsoft.Bcl.Net
(If I'm wrong, sorry, I'm in a road trip, no computer 9

If you try to install, 2 of them will throw you that it's not possible to install blablabla. Bullshit ! Sometimes, it only depends in which order you install them.

So try to install them, based on the dependency description, one by one, and after that, the 3 of them (that aren't possible to install, hmm), are installed :)

Hope it helps !

Max

deanilvincent · 2017-05-06T08:42:01Z

I was abled to fix this properly by installing the

Microsoft.Bcl.Build
first and then follow by
Microsoft.Build. I hope it works on your end.

mahapajapati · 2017-05-08T20:06:11Z

Thank you for the response. I correctly installed Microsoft.Bcl.Build, Microsoft.Build and Microsoft.Build.Async but it still doesn't work :(

Emixam23 · 2017-05-08T20:17:50Z

Can you please post the output of the fail ? :)

mahapajapati · 2017-05-08T20:34:32Z

@deanilvincent i think you are selecting class library instead of selecting android project

AyoubSannouti · 2018-06-17T11:30:49Z

Hello guys,

I'm trying to install GooglePlayServices.Maps 60.11.42.1 using Nuget but I'm getting this error:

Could not install package 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Maps 60.1142.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v7.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I'm using VS2015. Perhaps it's related to this bug with Nuget?
