Deprecations

Outdated "Android Support Library" packages are no longer supported in .NET 9:

• Xamarin.Android.Arch.*
• Xamarin.Android.Support.*

error XA1039: The Android Support libraries are not supported in .NET 9 and later, please migrate to AndroidX. See https://aka.ms/xamarin/androidx for more details.

The underlying Java libraries are no longer supported by Google since the final 28.0.0 release. See the Android Support Library Documentation for details.

Some example prefixes of the newer, supported AndroidX packages are:

• Xamarin.AndroidX.*
• Xamarin.AndroidX.Arch.*

For more information about the Android Support libraries or AndroidX, see:

• Android Support Library Documentation
• AndroidX Documentation

To begin this rollout, we've introduced this message as a warning in .NET 8.

See our deprecations wiki page for more information.
