Of course I can add one but that still leaves me wondering about what the project is and how it is used. The PCL is automatically included in the app packages built by the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone projects."Īs mentioned above there is no PCL project created automatically using the template I mentioned. "_The WeatherApp (Portable) project is where you’ll write code for the portable class library (PCL) that’s shared across all platforms. The tutorial referenced above contains this text: My original request was, and is, for documentation. what is it you're trying to achieve or why you think you need to. Using VS 2017 RC -> File -> New -> Project -> (Cross Platform App (Xamarin.Forms or Native) there is no project created with (Portable) at the end. Hence my request for a basic tutorial specific to VS2017RC (You might ask why I don't use VS2015 - its because I am making a series of demos for a component beyond the scope of this question). That tutorial is ideal for what I want to know but it breaks early, presumably because of the changes between VS2015 and VS2017. The tutorial I was trying to follow is here.

Despite the serious attitude that is coming off your response What is it you're trying to achieve or why you think you need to? We'll try to steer you back on course. Its not something done in Xamarin solutions. You shouldn't have to be adding any references between the PCL and the platform projects. It doesn't know or care or depend on references to droid, or iOS, or UWP, or Tizen operating systemsĭo add a reference from the Xamarin.Forms project to the. Virtually everything is going to go here and knows nothing about platforms. That is the platform agnostic code project. I would also like to see some documentation on what the Xamarin.Forms project is-ĭo you mean the PCL project within the overall solution? The project that has (Portable) at the end? Despite the serious attitude that is coming off your response, I'll make an effort to clarify and help once more.
