Ok, sounds like it is an issue for a few people.
I have gotten it working with the help of a friend!
It's working fine for me now; I followed the steps below:
- Start a new Xamarin.Forms portable project
- Uninstall all Xamarin nugets, clear the packages folder (others will be downloaded)
- Close VS 2015
- Clear the
C:\Users_[Username]_\AppData\Local\Xamarin\zips
folder, these will be downloaded automatically as needed.
- Open the project
- Update nugets then install Xamarin.Forms 2.0.0.6490, this should get the relevant version of dependencies for the android project (ie
Xamarin.Android.Support.x
). This will be v23.0.1.3, even though an update exists, as MatPag stated, it is not yet compatible.
- Build.
This will take a long, long time, as the Xamarin\zips
folder will be re-populated so a quite hefty file will be downloaded.
Might complain again, clean, save then reopen.
This is will definitely work fine
