How do your write Xamarin platform specific code in a .net standard library?

How do your write Xamarin platform specific code in a .net standard library?

I want to use namespaces like Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS in a .Net Standard Library..

Use case: I want to develop a .net library for my apps which includes a video player for the various platforms. This video player also has to interact with other code in the .net library.

Or is the answer I need to use a shared project or portable library?

You should not include platform specific code or use namespaces like the one you mentioned in your .NET Standard Library, the reason is that .NET is just a runtime environment.

It’s not the the main runtime environment that you would use on iOS or Android. These platforms use Mono - not .NET. Check this or this to see more details for how its structured.

If you need to execute something from your .NET Standard project which is related to platform-specific behavior, use Dependency Injection or Custom Renderers.
