Xamarin.Android Application does not recognize Paket Nuget packages

[ghost]

Created 2 identical Xamarin.Android (7.1) applications on Visual Studio for Mac.

When I add any NuGet package directly from NuGet, the packages are recognized by the solution and can be built successfully.

When I add the same NuGet package using Paket. The packages are not recognized by the solution.

I tried both Paket version 4.8.7 and the latest beta 008.

With the other types of projects (libraries, PCL, etc) everything works as expected.

Any ideas??

Can you please upload a zip with the repro? Am 06.06.2017 04:27 schrieb "DrifterApps" <notifications@github.com>:

TestPaket.zip

I created 2 projects in the solution, out of 3 packages, only 1 is recognized.

• SimpleInjector (not recognized)
• Xamarin.Android.Support.v4 (ok)
• System.Reactive.Core (not recognized)

I also included the log from the paket add commands.

Hi,

I tried with version 5.0.0-rc003 and I still have the same issue.

@DrifterApps I'm not sure what to do to be honest. Do you get any warning/error or what do I have to do exactly? I have no Mac btw.

@matthid I'm not sure what to tell you besides that I'm not getting any errors.

I did a test (which worked) by manually adding MonoAndroid to my target for SimpleInjector version .NETStandard 1.3 because that is the version being reference when I install the package using NuGet.

I manually added this reference:
($(TargetFrameworkIdentifier) == 'MonoAndroid') Or

Is it as though Paket cannot determine that the TargetFrameworkIdentifier MonoAndroid should be added and where...

Ah so paket is not recognizing that SimpleInjector is compatible with monoandroid. Yes we miss the corresponding entries in paket.

[ghost]

Yes but just to be clear it's not just SimpleInjector... most packages I install do not get recognized unless they are specifically designed for MonoAndroid.

[matthid]

Yep I'm fixing that right now :). At least portable packages should work already. Just netstandard ones are currently not working.
