How to set xamarin forms project to mono android - visual-studio

I am trying out Telerik UI for Xamarin forms for the first time and while going through the documentation, one of the required android support library is Xamarin.Android.Support.Vector.Drawable(v28.0). I tried downloading the package from nuget and I get an error.
This is the error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NU1202 Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Vector.Drawable 28.0.0.1 is not compatible with netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0). Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Vector.Drawable 28.0.0.1 supports:
- monoandroid60 (MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0)
- monoandroid70 (MonoAndroid,Version=v7.0)
- monoandroid71 (MonoAndroid,Version=v7.1)
- monoandroid80 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.0)
- monoandroid81 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.1)
- monoandroid90 (MonoAndroid,Version=v9.0) UITest C:\Users\FAITH\source\repos\UITest\UITest\UITest\UITest.csproj 1
I have looked up several solutions online and nothing works. I have also tried to change project target framework version and all I see is .NETStandard as the highest.

We should install the Xamarin.Android.Support.Vector.Drawable Nuget in xamarin android project.When we select the Nuget as follows , there is no such problem.

Visual Studio won't accept UWP version for Nugget package?

This is driving me nuts!
I'm trying to install Microsoft.Build. Using Nugget Manager I can successfully install Microsoft.Build.Framework but not Microsoft.Build. I've upgraded to the latest version 1903 (build 18362), but still get the error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NU1202 Package Microsoft.Build 16.5.0 is not compatible with uap10.0.18362 (UAP,Version=v10.0.18362) / win10-x64. Package Microsoft.Build 16.5.0 supports:
- net472 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2)
- netcoreapp2.1 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.1)
But the framework requirements for both are the same? Anyone seen this or have some idea what the problem is?
thanks
The reason for your issue is that: Microsoft.Build Nugget package does not support UWP project. So you can't install the Nuget package in UWP projects.

Problem while add Xamrine.Android.Support.Design in Xamrine project(visual studio) by using nugget

I am trying to add nugget packages in my Xamarin.Forms project and Xamarin.Android project.
I am able to add below list of nuget packages to my Android project but I am not able to add them to the Xamarin.forms project.
I checked the target framework in the Android project (right click on android project -> Properties -> Application - > Compile using Android version). It is set to Android9.0(Pie)
Nuggets -
Xamrin.Android.Support.Design
Xamrine.Android.Support.Core.UI etc
whenever I try to add these nuggets it show below error.
Error NU1202 Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Design 28.0.0.3 is not compatible with netstandard2.1 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.1). Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Design 28.0.0.3 supports:

- monoandroid80 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.0)
- monoandroid81 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.1)

For whatever reason, when I am trying to use below in my App.xaml.cs
#if __IOS__
using AVFoundation;
using FM.LiveSwitch.Cocoa;
using UIKit;
#else
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
#endif
it shows the error
Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'Android' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

How to fix Error NU1202 Package Xamarin.Android.Support.CustomTabs

I'm building a Xamarin App!
When I install Xamarin.Android.Support.CustomTabs Nuget package it shows me this error and no other nuget package is updating even !
I tried everything searched on google but still I've no idea what to do with this error
Error:

You're trying to install the package to the shared project which is .Net Standard 2.0.
The Packages only need to be installed to the Android project. So uncheck "DummyApp" and only check "DummyApp.Android" in NuGet UI.

Unable to install nuget packages in xamarin android project

I am facing a very strange issue regarding installing NuGet packages in the xamarin android project. When I try to install any NuGet package in xamarin android project getting an error.
Here is the error message I am getting from the NuGet package manager.

Installed packages in the Android project:
Remove Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack from your PCL, since you are having a reference of it in the PCL and then your Android project refers the PCL that works like an indirect reference hence it is causing the issue.
Solution: remove the package from PCL project
