Hi all,
I am trying to get started with a cross-platform app, using Xamarin.Forms. Unfortunately, I received the eponymous
Could not install package 'Xamarin.Forms 1.0.6186'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78', 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.
So, I found a few links online, in particular mattward's instructions here -> http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/18383/could-not-install-package-xamarin-forms-1-0-6186-windows
By the way, for completeness, the file that is created at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft .NET Portable Library Reference Assemblies 4.6
Needs to be unzipped to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETPortable
(it seemed like he just assumed that you would know that this was the location).
In any case, I finished all of the above, uninstalled xamarin, reinstalled it using the universal installer, and I was still not able to create a project. My best guess is that Xamarin.Android was not uninstalled with this method, but I cannot find instructions on how to uninstall that specifically.
To summarize, given the above issue and resolution steps, is there a way to force the IDE to accept the new PCL installation?
Thanks!
