Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Xamarin.Android doesn't provide the related Api. To reference a native Api in Xamarin, you could create a binding library for the project. Download the latest version of Android Install Referrer library, then add the aar file to your Xamarin.Android project. Don't remember to set Build Action for the .aar file to AndroidAarLibrary.

How to bind an .AAR, please check the doc:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/platform/binding-java-library/binding-an-aar
