iOS namespace does not exist

[JoshuaNovak919]

I am getting a namespace does not exist error in the AppDelegate file. It seems PhoneCall.Forms.Plugin.iOS doesn't exist. I am using the Unified support version of xamarin forms. Any ideas how to get this to work?

I have the same issue. I tried to reference PhoneCall.Forms.Plugin.iOS in my AppDelegate but it is not found. It seems the plugin for iOS does not install correctly and is not added to the project references.

I use the following:

I'm having the same issue, it worked perfectly on Android, but not on iOS, this is driving me nuts. Did you guys have found a solution?

[dutchman71]

I ended up writing my own dependency service. It is not that hard...

[JoshuaNovak919]

I made my own too. If you go to the Xamarin University page and click preview a class, the preview shows you how to make a dialer service.

Thanks guys, I was running out of time, so I ended up coding my own service too, and it wasn't a big deal
