Hi,

I am using Xamarin.forms and none of the android class members are available post update yesterday.

My App was using Android.App.Application.Context.GetExternalDirectoryFile("").AbsolutePath. Now I am getting an error in vs stating "Android" doesn't contain a definition for "App" . Even Android.OS or .Content is throwing the same error.

Could someone please help resolving the issue. Target version was Androidv11.0 and even by changing it to 10.0, I am seeing the error.

Regards,
Mahesh B

    I got the answer myself. I Used below code in place of Android.App.Application...

    "var path = Xamarin.Essentials.FileSystem.AppDataDirectory;"
