I have a Xamarin for Android app that has been working until today. I needed to make a change but before I did, I ran a test to ensure no VS or Nuget package updates caused an issue. I have Xamarin.Essentials in my app and this line worked before, not sure what is happening now.
if(DeviceInfo.Model == "TC72"){scannerIndex = 1;}
Exception Unhandled:
Xamarin.Essentials.NotImplementedInReferenceAssemblyException: 'This functionality is not implemented in the portable version of this assembly. You should reference the NuGet package from your main application project in order to reference the platform-specific implementation.'
Any insight would be helpful. TIA
I changed the DeviceInfo.Model to Build.Model and get the same info I was expecting. That fixed my issue. If anyone has a different suggestion, happy to entertain them.
Added 8/11/21 3:25pm CT I also found that changing my Compile Target to 10.0 fixed the Xamarin.Essentials issues. So far the application is working on 8.1 on the device (Zebra MC3300).
