App (re)build fails under VS 15.5.6 #63

Hi @jfversluis and community, I just cloned the repo[master] and rebuilding of the solution in VS 15.5.6 fails with errors as shown in the screenshotsbelow. Any thoughts if I am missing any config steps? Do I need to manually update nugget packages? @jfversluis - is there any plan to migrate the PCL project to .net standard 2.0?

-Thanks.

[P.S. - I am new to the Xamarin world. Your help and guidance is highly appreciated]

Hi @IoTFier, great that you are setting foot in the wonderful world of Xamarin!

This error seems weird, and although I worked on it a while ago, I can't seem to recall that this happened. I should probably convert it to .NET Standard. Maybe I will soon and create a blogpost about the process.

Now for this problem, I will try to clone a fresh copy and see what happens here.

Something weird is going on. It happens to me as well, but when I set the startup project to either iOS or Android it works?

npagare commented 6 years ago

@jfversluis , I am getting those errors even when my startup project is set up as Android. The app did come up on iOS set up as a startup project... but there were still 11 errors in the core project. See the screenshot as attached below. [ I would also request you to see if build has any issues in the VS preview 15.6.3 version ]

I want to review and learn from the code across various aspect including structure of the folders across projects, platforms, dependencies and output displayed in the process of app building. I am not able to find many blogs / authors explaining about the required configurations with multiple variation possibilities that exist in VS. Techniques to analyze issues from output of the consoles and error / warning window etc. In the case of this App, it looks like there is a dependency on the API built by you and the team, but readme doesn't highlight that. I have downloaded the API project - do I need to containerize it / host it locally or point to a URL where you are hosting that API ? I think those guidelines will be very valuable to have documented in the readme file.

Will be waiting for your guidance. Thanks
