"Can't find" NS*Types (eg. NSFileManager or NSUrl) in Xamarin Forms project

I get "Not Found" errors in Xamarin Forms with things like NSFileManager and NSUrl. These are my imports of my class where I'm getting these errors:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using DrinkUp.Controls;
using DrinkUp.iOS.Renderers;
using MediaPlayer;
using UIKit;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS;

And the class which I'm using is located in DrinkUp.iOS. Whenever and wherever I type something with the NS prefix it says that it could not find the object. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Here's my full class

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using DrinkUp.Controls;
using DrinkUp.iOS.Renderers;
using MediaPlayer;
using UIKit;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS;

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Video), typeof(VideoRenderer))]
namespace DrinkUp.iOS.Renderers
{
public class VideoRenderer : ViewRenderer<Video, UIView>
{
MPMoviePlayerController videoPlayer;
object notification = null;

    void InitVideoPlayer()
    {
        var path = Path.Combine(NSBundle.MainBundle.BundlePath, Element.Source);

        if (!NSFileManager.DefaultManager.FileExists(path)) {
            Console.WriteLine("Video not exist");
            videoPlayer = new MPMoviePlayerController();
            videoPlayer.ControlStyle = MPMovieControlStyle.None;
            videoPlayer.ScalingMode = MPMovieScalingMode.AspectFill;
            videoPlayer.RepeatMode = MPMovieRepeatMode.One;
            videoPlayer.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
            SetNativeControl(videoPlayer.View);
            return;
        }

        // Load the video from the app bundle.
        NSUrl videoURL = new NUrl(path, false);

        // Create and configure the movie player.
        videoPlayer = new MPMoviePlayerController(videoURL);

        videoPlayer.ControlStyle = MPMovieControlStyle.None;
        videoPlayer.ScalingMode = MPMovieScalingMode.AspectFill;
        videoPlayer.RepeatMode = Element.Loop ? MPMovieRepeatMode.One : MPMovieRepeatMode.None;
        videoPlayer.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
        foreach (UIView subView in videoPlayer.View.Subviews) {
            subView.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Clear;
        }

        videoPlayer.PrepareToPlay();
        SetNativeControl(videoPlayer.View);
    }
}

}

The first comment worked, I had to get the NS types from Foundation. Like Foundation.NSUrl etc. This fixed my problem.
