"The type or namespace name 'App' could not be found" Xamarin Forms
xamarin, xamarin.android, xaml
Solution
Found the source of the error! If anyone else is struggling, try updating Xamarin.Forms using NuGet Packages for Solution. I was only using the Package Manager Console which was not giving me the latest version.
Problem
I am trying to create a simple app in Xamarin Android with Xamarin Forms using Visual Studio, however I keep getting this error everytime I try to build. I have double checked my references which should contain the Portable project, as well as made sure I have the latest version of Xamarin.Forms. What could I still be missing that would give this error? ``` using System; using Android.App; using Android.Content; using Android.Content.PM; using Android.Runtime; using Android.Views; using Android.Widget; using Android.OS; using App2; using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android; namespace App2.Droid { [Activity(Label = "App2", Icon = "@drawable/icon", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation)] public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsApplicationActivity // superclass new in 1.3 { protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle) { base.OnCreate(bundle); global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle); LoadApplication(new App()); // method is new in 1.3 } } } ```
