Is there a way to make GitInfo work with Xamarin Live Player

[sushicodeur]

I can't debug my apps on Xamarin Live player as soon as I add GitInfo to the project.

The error I have :

(1,1): error: Dependent project TestGitInfo.csproj failed to build, using old version.

To reproduce, I just created a blank new Xamarin Forms Project (PCL). Tested it worked with Live Player. OK.

Then I added GitInfo nuget and displayed ThisAssembly.Git.Commit in the Label that initialy displayed "Welcome to Xamarin Forms!".

As soon as we call ThisAssembly, we can't compile the project for Xamarin Live Player.

Any Idea ?

I guess Live Player doesn't compile the code like MSBuild does.

Yes, it looks like that. Xamarin Live Player has quite a lot of limitations.

It's probably nothing to do with GitInfo.
