I've been recently asked to move all the project references to a static folder and not use NuGet at all.
I removed the Packages from NuGet and added the .dll to the references from a static folder. I could get to do this with all libraries on iOS and Android projects but when removing the Xamarin.Forms package from NuGet and referencing it's dlls, the project doesn't compile, giving the following error in the code behind of each view:
The name "InitializeComponent" does not exist in the current context
So first, I would like to know if developing a project on Xamarin.Forms without NuGet is possible and if it is, know how, if it isn't, know why so I can explain it and reference this forum thread.
Thank you in advance
