Nuget

[N Mackay]

Hi,

 

I see nuget support was added. This is a welcome development. I tried it out and with a bit of fiddling I got the Telerik nuget to add the files for Droid and iOS projects. However for the PCL and Winphone the nuget update throws these errors.

The machine is Win10 x64 and using Visual Studio 2013 Update5. I created a blank cross-platform project and updated to Forms 2.2.0.31  before trying this.

Xamarin version info

Xamarin   4.0.4.4 (a9c7826)
Visual Studio extension to enable development for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android.

Xamarin.Android   6.0.4.0 (ee215fc)
Visual Studio plugin to enable development for Xamarin.Android.

Xamarin.iOS   9.6.2.2 (be25da5)
Visual Studio extension to enable development for Xamarin.iOS.

 

Any idea why it's not adding the DLL's to the PCL and WinPhone (8.1)?

 

Also with the current nuget your installing all the controls. In my case I'm using almost all so it's not to bad but what if you just wanted the Listview for example?

Thanks.

Hello Norman,

Thank you for this report.
We confirm that there is a problem with the current version of the "Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin" nuget. The problem is that we are using outdated project template for XamarinForms that targets WindowsPhone 8.0 (Silverlight) and do not target WindowsPhone 8.1 (Windows Universal).
We will do our best to fix this in our next release of "UI for Xamarin" suite.

As for the partial (control based) NuGet's - we currently do not plan to create/ship/maintain such. If we receive enough such requests in the future we may reconsider it.

Your Telerik points are updated accordingly.
