Xam Forms - Android.Material package errors

Question

Xamarin Community - trying to work through an issue in my Xamarin Forms app (iOS and Android).

I'm currently running Android.Material package version 1.1.0.5
Due to another error that is thrown in the newer version v. 1.4.0.4, I have downgraded to 1.1.0.5

Now, when building the Android app, it's throwing an error:

Error XA4204: Unable to resolve interface type 'Google.Android.Material.Navigation.NavigationBarView/IOnItemSelectedListener'. Are you missing an assembly reference? (XA4204)

Seems I'm stuck between two different version errors with no solution??
Any advice or help is appreciated.

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Error XA4204: Unable to resolve interface type 'Google.Android.Material.Navigation.NavigationBarView/IOnItemSelectedListener'. Are you missing an assembly reference? (XA4204)

If you get this error, If you update your Xamarin.Forms version to the 5.0.0.2196, If so Xamarin.Forms 5.0.0.2196 dependencies on the Xamarin.Google.Android.Material (>= 1.4.0.2 && < 1.5.0), please open this thread: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Forms/5.0.0.2196 then choose the Dependencies tag, you can see it.

Due to another error that is thrown in the newer version v. 1.4.0.4, I have downgraded to 1.1.0.5

If you downgraded to 1.1.0.5, you need to downgrad Xamarin.Forms version to 5.0.0.1931 as well.
