NuGet Packages used for ePortal Xamarin Forms Projects

NuGet packages are used to add external libraries or files to your application.

This section provides the required NuGet packages for the ePortal Xamarin Forms project. In most cases, you need not install the NuGet packages manually, as they are automatically referenced by the ePortal project template. However, if required, you can create a blank Xamarin Forms project using the standard Visual Studio template and then manually add the required NuGet packages.

Perform the following steps to install the NuGet Packages:

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the Xamarin project, and click Manage Nuget Packages….

  2. Select All from the Package source list.

  3. Browse the following NuGet packages, and click Install.

    • NewtonSoft.Json

    • Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime

    • Microsoft.OpenAPI.Readers

    • Microsoft.OpenAPI

    • Unisys.Xamarin.Scaffolding

Note that you should install the Unisys.Xamarin.Scaffolding package from a local folder that contains the Unisys.Xamarin.Scaffolding NuGet package file from the installed ePortal Developer Packages folder. After installing this NuGet package, the Content folder that contains t4 templates and other required files is created under the common Xamarin project.
