Cannot install some packages on Xamarin Forms project (netstandard2.0)

I am trying to add some packages and I am getting the same error all the time. Below is the error when installing Google Ads:

Package Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads.Lite 60.1142.1 is not compatible with netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0). Package Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads.Lite 60.1142.1 supports: monoandroid80 (MonoAndroid,Version=v8.0)

I am getting the same if I try to install Compat packages.

Can anybody give me some advice as I have been changing some parameters and trying to install other versions of the packages (which should work) but I am getting alway the same problem.

Should that package (google ads) be installed only in the Android project or in the main project as well?

This worked for me:

  1. Remove any "Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.*" packages.
  2. Clean solution
  3. Add latest "Xamarin.GooglePlayServices" package
  4. Restart VS
  5. Clean Solution
  6. Rebuild
  7. Run

Package Xamarin.GooglePlayServices

Is designed only for Android projects. Don't add it to your PCL or iOS project. Only add it to your Android Project.
