C#: ModernHttpClient, You're referencing the Portable version in your App - you need to reference the platform (iOS/Android) version

I'm using ModernHttpClient library and I'm to trying to get the Cookies from the httpClient's response

public static async Task<String> loginUser()
{
    var values = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
    {
        new KeyValuePair<string, string>("username", "*****"),
        new KeyValuePair<string, string>("password", "*****"),
    };
    NativeCookieHandler cookieHandler = new NativeCookieHandler();
    NativeMessageHandler messageHandler = new NativeMessageHandler(false, false, cookieHandler);
    var httpClient = new HttpClient(messageHandler);

    var response = await httpClient.PostAsync(RestApiPaths.LOGIN, new FormUrlEncodedContent(values));

    response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
    String resultString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("resultString: " + resultString);
    IEnumerable<Cookie> responseCookies = cookieHandler.Cookies;
    Cookie mCookie = responseCookies.FirstOrDefault();
    RestApiPaths.mCookie = mCookie;
    return resultString;

}

But the below line is giving error:

IEnumerable<Cookie> responseCookies = cookieHandler.Cookies;

Error:

I've this code in a PCL. Why am I getting this error? How do I get the cookies correctly?

EDIT:

Now I've modernhttpclient library in both my pcl and ios project to make it work. If I remove it from the ios project. I get the same error.

For future googlers: it may happen when you update some NuGet reference (e.g. modernhttpclient-updated) to a version which targets Xamarin.Android 8.1 (just for example) while your app targets Xamarin.Android 6.0: in that case your Xamarin.Android project wouldn't reference platform-specific code but only shared.

Pay attention to NuGet warning!

Some more clarifications, as explained by Eugene and HeisenBerg. You were trapped by "Bait and Switch"

Make sure your projects have correct references to assemblies:

  • Android: in the MonoAndroid folder
  • iOS: in the Xamarin.iOS10 folder (or MonoTouch folder)
  • PCL: in the Portable-Net45+WinRT45+WP8+WPA81 folder

If that doesn't help, I suggest to stop using of the ModernHttpClient, due to the next:

  1. Xamarin.iOS provides functionality of the ModernHttpClient out of the box (a bit limited though).
  2. Actually, the ModernHttpClient.NativeMessageHandler does nothing with the cookieHandler parameter. You can check it in the source code (Android, iOS). And you can just handle cookies natively instead of using of ModernHttpClient implementations, see the source code for examples (Android, iOS).

When you added the reference to the solution did you add the reference to the PCL project as well as the iOS and Android projects?

It's the same Nuget package, but the android package adds a reference to

~\packages\modernhttpclient.2.4.2\lib\MonoAndroid

iOS gets a reference to

~\packages\modernhttpclient.2.4.2\lib\Xamarin.iOS10

I'm assuming this is in Visual Studio? Perhaps just uninstall the package and reinstall it (and install it at the solution level).
