Error Running UWP Project (UniversalWindows)

Question

I am making a crossplatform xamirin forms application that should run on android and pc windows.

During compiling the UWP version I get the exceptions:

Can not resolve Assembly or Windows Metadata file 'Xamarin.Forms.Platform.WP8.dll

and

Type universe can not resolve assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Platform.WP8, Version = 1.5.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = null

I read about these exceptions on the internet and from what I could see, it is related to the Xlabs plugin being used in the application. Is this information correct?

If yes, would I have some way to fix it without removing the Xlabs plugin, why am I using it on multiple forms to be able to checkboxes.

Answer 1

I faced this issues because of Nuget package was not up to date in my every project. I tried to fix this issues using below step.

• Close the Visual Studio/Xamarin Studio.
• Delete the Nuget package folder from root directory.
• Delete the all bin, obj and debug folder from every project folder.
• Right click on every project of Package folder and try to update.
• Clean the all solution and Rebuild all.
