I am trying to add the Google Play Services component to my Xamarin application because I need to integrate google maps api into the application. When I try to search Google play services in components I can't find Google Play Services. I see other components such as Google Play services-ads or Google Play Services- App Indexing but no Google Play Services.
I installed the Google play services client in the sdk manager:
And the minimum api level that the app is targeting is level 19. Still I can't find Google Play Services. Here is a screenshot of the all the results:

According to the above website google play services-All does not exist anymore and now their are individual packages. So now I have to install Google Play Services-Maps.
You can use NuGet to download Google Play Services Maps to your project.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Maps/
Or you can download the component from the component store
https://components.xamarin.com/view/googleplayservices-maps
The Google Play Services library was too large at one point and google decided to separate the concerns into a smaller packages for many reasons such as hitting 64K reference limit too fast even though you only used a small subset of the APIs for your application.
