Update Google Places for Android bindings to version 2.4.0

[duartem2u]

Is it possible to update the Google Places bindigs to the latest version? The current bindings are using version 1.1.0 that, besides being around 1 year old, still references a few android support libraries. This way it's impossible to use this nuget package in a project that uses AndroidX libraries.

Thanks

Looking forward to the AndroidX support on this package as well. Right now it's the only Nuget I have that still has a reference to the Xamarin.Android.Support.* libraries.

Hi, I'm also looking for updated Places SDK bindings using Android X support packages. Happy to help but will need advice / assistance.

Any plans to move this forward? Would be really good to have a version on AndroidX.

Hi folks, so I've built my own binding project for version 2.4.0 which appears to work, but I don't understand how to update the code here. The VS project doesn't look like a standard Xamarin Android Bindings project and I don't understand how the nuget package dependencies are generated. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Apologies in advance for my ignorance.

OK more digging and I can now build a local nuget package and use it successfully in my project. I still have some questions about the project template being used. I looked as several android binding projects and some use what looks like a standard bindings project, others are:

Sdk="MSBuild.Sdk.Extras"
Sdk="MSBuild.Sdk.Extras/2.0.54"
Sdk="MSBuild.Sdk.Extras/3.0.22"
...

What should I be using?
