missing xamarin.googleplayservices references

I am trying to use google maps on my xamarin forms application. I installed Google.forms.maps. With that installation, I got below packages:

  <package id="Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base" version="42.1021.1"    targetFramework="monoandroid71" />
  <package id="Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Basement" version="42.1021.1" targetFramework="monoandroid71" />
  <package id="Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Maps" version="42.1021.1" targetFramework="monoandroid71" />
  <package id="Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Tasks" version="42.1021.1" targetFramework="monoandroid71" />

As soon as I start running the application, these dll's go away from android project reference and I get the error 

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Error       Did not find reference matching RestoreAssemblyResources AssemblyName metadata 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Tasks'   app1.Android

Did not find reference matching RestoreAssemblyResources AssemblyName metadata 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base'    app1.Android    
Did not find reference matching RestoreAssemblyResources AssemblyName metadata 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Maps'    app1.Android
Did not find reference matching RestoreAssemblyResources AssemblyName metadata 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Basemant'    app1.Android

I googled for this error and tried to add these packages separately using nuget so I did this

Install-Package Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base -Version 60.1142.0

I got an error saying

Install-Package : Could not install package 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base 60.1142.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v7.1', but the package does not contain any

assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

so I tried doing this:

Install-Package Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base -Version 29.0.0.1

I got the same error as I got with nuget package version 60.1142.0

I am using Visual studio 2017 enterprise version.

any help in this regards will be appreciated. Below are the target for android project:

Generic message:

Could not install package 'Xamarin.XXXXXXX'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=vX.X'

Specific message:

Could not install package 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base 60.1142.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v7.1'

Change your Xamarin.Androidproject to target at least MonoAndroid 8.0 as Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base v60.1142.0 has a dependency on 8.0

enter image description here

Nuget: Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base/60.1142.0
