Xamarin nuget package updates are not compatible. How can I update the nuget packages in Visual Studio for Mac Community?

Question

I want to update my nuget packages in Visual Studio for Mac Community 8.10.25 (build 2) but the following two updates always fail in my Android project:

Package Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging 122.0.0.7 is not compatible with monoandroid11.0 (MonoAndroid,Version=v11.0). Package Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging 122.0.0.7 supports:

• monoandroid12.0 (MonoAndroid,Version=v12.0)
• net6.0-android31.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0)

  Package Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base 118.1.0 is not compatible with monoandroid11.0 (MonoAndroid,Version=v11.0). Package Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base 118.1.0 supports:

  • monoandroid12.0 (MonoAndroid,Version=v12.0)
  • net6.0-android31.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0)

How can I upgrade to monoandroid12.0 (MonoAndroid,Version=v12.0) and net6.0-android31.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0) so that I can install the nuget package updates?

Hello,

Please change your Target framework to Android 12. To access the Target Framework setting in Visual Studio for Mac, right-click the project name and select Options; this opens the Project Options dialog. In this dialog, navigate to Build > General as shown there like this document:
