@MariovanZeist to maintain backwards compatibility with VS 2017 we had to add some trickery into our forms.targets file
I'll need to look into seeing if we can make this work transitively with ios
@PureWeen Not sure if it's related, but in the .nuspec/Xamarin.Forms.targets file at line 211 and 216, I think the hintpath will result in a path with a double \
I think $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory) already has a trailing \
I saw this when I was rummaging through a MSBuild log when investigating this issue.
4.5.0.396 is useless for me also... Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS namespace don't exist.
@Jacko1394 If you reference Xamarin.Forms directly in the library that needs the Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS namespace it will work.
I will close this issue for now, as it seems to be fixed in the next release. Will reopen when the problem persists.
Thanks @PureWeen
Verified fixed in version 4.5.0.530
Description
In my Xamarin projects, I use the great MSBuild.Sdk.Extras package to be able to easily create multitargeted libraries. But since the latest Xamarin version, there seems to be a problem. I am not sure if the problem is related to MSBuild.Sdk.Extras or Xamarin, although the previous version of Xamarin did work, so something must have changed.
The problem is related to transitive dependencies. I have 1 library where I reference Xamarin.Forms, my other libraries will reference that library, so they get the Xamarin.Forms library as a transitive dependency. (That way I only update 1 package, and all my related libraries will reference the correct Xamarin.Forms version)
in 4.5.0.396, for iOS it won't find the Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS namespace. So my custom renderers won't compile. It does work for Android. (Haven't tested UWP)
Steps to Reproduce
Expected Behavior
Both libraries compile.
Actual Behavior
The iOS version doesn't compile

Workaround
When referencing "Xamarin.Forms" Version="4.5.0.396" directly in the Xam.Controls library the library will compile.
