CS0246 The type or namespace name 'Android' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) ParentalControl.App.Mobile

Question

In my Android Xamarin project it presented that error, although in the references I do have the Mono.Android.ddl, I exported it again but it did not work.

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Shared project just shares code for each platform project that references the shared project. Assembly references should be added in each platform projects(android,ios etc), not the shared project. So please remove the Assemblies from the shared project and remove the Android.* namespace from the page class. If you want to use the Android library, please handle the work in the Android platform project and you could use DependencyService to call the method from the shared project.

Best Regards,
