I'm using some of core Prism classes in PCL Project for Multi-platform app. Everything Is fine (I chcecked only on Android as I don't have a Mac) until I add Windows Phone 8.1 or Universal Windows 10 Project and configure them like Xamarin website tells. What I receive is:
Cannot resolve Assembly or Windows Metadata file 'Prism.dll'
Type universe cannot resolve assembly: Prism, Version=6.1.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=91a96d2a154366d8.
When I remove all Prism related thing from PCL the projects build, so I'm considering copying prism project into my solution. Or maybe should I reference Prism as a dll instead of nuget or what?
I always thought that nuget takes the job of picking the dll with proper target.
Edit: Xamarin.Froms ver: 2.0.0.6490 (in all projects now) VS 2015.
You can't use the current NuGet packages if using UWP because NuGet will add the wrong assemblies to your Xamarin.Forms project. NuGet doesn't know you are using a Xamarin.Forms app and adds the wrong assemblies. You need to add the references manually.

Having configured a Setup project for my .NET 4.7.2 codebase the Detected Dependencies shows up with a netstandard.dll.
Is there anyway to tell where this might be coming from?
Again it's just an entire 4.7.2 based code with that target Framework chosen.
The Prerequisites Page has the 4.7.2 chosen and the Launch condition has 4.7.2.
What could be causing the netstandard.dll to be included in the project output?
What could be causing the netstandard.dll to be included in the
project output?
First, thanks to magicandre1981 for all his help.
You have referenced a net standard nuget packages in your Net Framework 4.7.2 project. And because of the special nature of the package, it needs to refer to netstandard.dll as a runtime environment.
Although Net Frameowork 4.7.2 optimizes the build output file, so netstandard.dll cannot be shown in the project outputpath, but in fact the project will still use it at runtime.
But for the setup project, there is no such feature. Using the netstandard nuget package, all references will be displayed in Detected Dependencies including netstandard.dll.
In addition, Net Standard 2.0 is compatible with Net Frameowork 4.7.2, and you can refer to this document.
I'd like to know if there is a way to automatically deploy NuGet package.
I tried many extensions but not working for VS 2017.
I do know that there is a packager as new VS 2017 feature. But there is no package tab in my project (.NET Library) properties.
If you want the integrated package management for .NET Framework Libraries (not .NET Standard or .NET Core), you can create a .NET Standard Library and edit the csproj file by replacing
<TargetFramework>netstandard1.4</TargetFramework>
with
<TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>
There is no built-in template yet for this library type and some designers (win forms, xaml, ..) will not be available but this unlocks all integrated packaging features.
I'm working with RESTful webservice, getting error while adding package "System.Net.Http";
"The 'System.Net.Http 4.0.0' package requires NuGet client version '3.0' or above, but the current NuGet version is '2.8.5.0'. "
So, to resolve above error i'm trying to install "NuGet client" from "Add Package" option in xamarin studio, but this time I'm facing another issue that is;
"Could not install package 'NuGet.Client 3.2.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-net45+win+wp80+MonoAndroid10+xamarinios10+MonoTouch10', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author."
please help to resolve this issue.
Xamarin Studio currently does not support NuGet 3. It is currently only supported in Visual Studio 2015.
It is not possible to upgrade Xamarin Studio so it supports NuGet 3 at this time. Installing the NuGet.Client NuGet package does not upgrade NuGet in Xamarin Studio.
I would instead look at using the Microsoft.Net.Http NuGet package which you can install into a portable class library project (PCL) and supports all Xamarin Android and Xamarin iOS projects.
I was able to grab a copy of System.Net.Http.dll from another project and manually add it as a reference to my Xamarin project. I put it in the packages folder and then browsed to it from the edit references dialog.
For people facing problem trying to add System.Net.Http...
I was able to solve the problem by using Microsoft.Net.Http instead of System.Net.Http. In Xamarin studio, Right click on your project > Add > Add NuGet Packages.. > search for "Microsoft Http Client Libraries" and click Add Package.
I am working on a mono for Android application (my very first) that consumes a web api. In the documentation at xamarin.com there are examples on using different libraries such as RestSharp and Json.Net.
However, when I try to install these libraries via Nuget in my VS2010 project it failes with the following message:
Install failed. Rolling back... Could not install package
'Newtonsoft.Json 4.5.9'. You are trying to install this package into a
project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v2.2', but the package does
not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that
framework. For more information, contact the package author.
How can I include such libraries in my project?
Thanks in advance.

This error message indicates those libraries are not compatible with Mono for Android. You should ask the manufacturer of the libraries if they have a MfA compatible version. If you have the source code of the libraries you could also try to make a MfA library, using linked source files, yourself.
Not sure if you've tried this but if you're using xamarin studio and right click the component folder in your Android app project choosing add component should be able to solve your problem. This will add a reference to the component that is added. Components seem like they are mono compatible packages and what's good for your case is that there are components for both RestSharp and Json.Net:
https://components.xamarin.com/view/restsharp
http://components.xamarin.com/view/json.net/
I want to make my .net 4 project load the .net 3.5 version of a nuget package so that other .net 3.5 references don't get the nuget dll overwritten in the output directory.
Yikes! If the package has a .NET 3.5 and a .NET 4 version of the DLL, there's no real way to do that other than changing your project to target 3.5 itself.
I can think of a couple of workarounds though. They're not ideal, but they'd probably work.
After you install the nuget package, go into the "packages" directory (it'll be next to your solution (.sln) file. Find the package. Delete the "\lib\net40" folder. This way, NuGet will reference the next version down. You'll have to manually change the assembly reference. Note if you even upgrade this package, you'll have to do this again.
You could create a custom version of this package that only contains your 3.5 version of the DLL. Perhaps put this up in a custom feed at http://myget.org/ and install it from there.
One of those ought to work.
