Tons of errors on Resource.Designer.cs after adding OxyPlot to the project

[rbasniak]

These the steps to reproduce it:

1 - Create a new Blank App (Xamarin.Forms.Portable) on VS 2015 Update 3 (Xamarin 4.2.0.703 and Xamarin.Android 7.0.1.3)

2 - On Nuget Package Manager update Xamarin.Forms to latest version (currently v2.3.3.152-pre2)

3 - Run the application to confirm that everything is working.

4 - Back to Nuget, add a referente of OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms to both my projects (portable and droid). It installs OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms and OxyPlot.Xamarin.Android version 1.0.0-unstable1983 and 'OxyPlot.Coreversion2015.1.708-alpha`)

5 - On my Droid project, in MainActivity.cs I add OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.PlotViewRenderer.Init(); after the call to Forms.Init()

6 - Now if I try to compile my application again I have ~150 errors on Resource.Designer.cs:

If I remove OxyPlot from the project, the errors go away and the application compiles again.

My target SDK versions are the following:

hi @rbasniak
same problem here. any solution for this?

[rbasniak]

Hi @hugoranito, unfortunately not. Decided to put the project apart while this doesn't get fixed, since it's the only decent and free charting library for Xamarin :(

[rafadorado]

Same here :-(

I have same problem, but temporary solution seems to be just comment out lines with errors in Resource.Designer.cs, project then can be build and charts are working.

sorry, I am not having time to look into this myself at the moment.

This issue is being caused by the Nuget package version mismatches.

Check the Nuget page for OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms and you will see it requires:

OxyPlot.Core (= 1.0.0-unstable1983)

However that version does not exist in Nuget, as seen for OxyPlot.Core

OxyPlot core... 1.0.0 (this version)

This issue is also related to this.

@JosephGarrone it does exist (but don't know were it is really xD). I was also confused when adding the nugets, but when i searched for pre release packages i found the "Oxyplot.Xamarin.Forms 1.0.0-unstable1983" (the one you've posted), i installed that package and the Oxyplot.Core 1.0.0-unstable1983 was automatically installed, the package manager did the job for me, just don't install the Oxyplot.Core 1.0.0 (if you have it installed, remove it and then install the "Oxyplot.Xamarin.Forms 1.0.0-unstable1983" again)

[JosephGarrone]

@j-monteiro I just installed from the MyGet Feed. You will notice in the versions listed there that there is no unstable1983, and if you look at OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms, it is only up to unstable0680.

[j-monteiro]

@JosephGarrone sorry if I'm not understanding the situation correctly. The thing is that I have the "Oxyplot.Core 1.0.0-unstable1983" in my project, with "OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms 1.0.0-unstable1983"

[JosephGarrone]

@j-monteiro The issue is that whilst that might be the version you have installed, its not properly accessible via NuGet/MyGet due to mismatched versioning dependencies. And if you check my links, you will see that that version doesn't actually exist presently.
