    Hi, I have a trouble with creating xamarin project. When I do this, Vs shows a lot of errors. Even though I still can run the app, I don't think this is normal to have them in a blank project. I tried to repair vs and reinstall packages, but nothing changed. Can someone help me? Here's the full list of errors.

    Hi MihailShabunin,

    Welcome to the MSDN forum.

    What version of Visual Studio do you use?

    What’s the type of Xamarin.Forms project do you use?

    I create a blank Cross-Platform App (Xamarin.Forms) project with Android use Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 version 15.6.1, it works fine in my side.

    You could clear the cache of Xamarin.Droid package.

    In my experience, Xamarin.Droid packages might be the one that caused this error. So, you are free to remove them. After removal those folders, please try to rebuild the project to restore it back. Go to the following path in your machine: Windows C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Xamarin MacOS /Users/username/.local/share/Xamarin.

    And, please take a look at the thread that York Shen provided, try it and test again.

    In addition, if you want to know more information, I suggest you go to Stack Overflow or Xamarin forum to get a professional answer.

    Regards,

    Judyzh
