Hello,
We've recently downloaded the sample project, Moo2U.
Upon unzipping, and opening in Visual Studio 2017 Version 15.5.7, the solution shows the following errors:
---Error NU1202 Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Design 26.1.0.1 is not compatible with monoandroid71 (MonoAndroid,Version=v7.1). Package Xamarin.Android.Support.Design 26.1.0.1 supports: monoandroid80 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.0)

While help with above is appreciated, we are really just trying to get an idea what Ultimate UI can do for us - it would be nice if there were simply a version of this application available on the Play Store/iTunes that we could run without any hassle. I understand that wouldn't show some of the features, but we are most likely not interested in the 'designer' aspect. We would just like to see the controls in action.
Thanks.
Hello Stan,
I have been investigating into the errors that you are seeing, and it appears that these errors are likely due to the Android SDK that you are currently targeting.
You can test this by opening the Android project's Properties and checking the Application tab. Since the Moo2U app is currently targeting Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.XXXXX packages against version 26.1.0.1, we are expecting you to compile using Android version 8.0 or above. As such, I would recommend that you ensure that the Target Framework on the Android project's Properties => Application tab is compiling against Android 8.0. If you find that you do need to change the Target Framework, I would then recommend cleaning and rebuilding the project, and everything should build normally.
Regarding the Moo2U application being available on the Play Store or iTunes, I do not believe there is currently a plan for this at the moment.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your response. The problems that I mention seem to occur because I do not have the 8.0 platform installed, so Visual Studio picks the latest version that I do have installed, and tries to use that. The latest platform that I have is Android 7.1 (Nougat).
I also did not realize that the Ultimate UI for Xamarin required such a recent version. We are not prepared to restrict our Xamarin applications to the newer platform at this time, so unfortunately we won't be able to use the product (even though we do rely heavily on Infragistics offerings in other products).
I do hope you change your mind about offering a compiled demo application - I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see the capabilities of your controls without having to acquire and compile a project (though having that later is great).
Thanks again,
Stan
