I have several compatibility issues going on at present - the latest to pop up is Xlabs.Forms
this is arising as I have several separate projects each proving a different functionality and am now beginning to bring them all together
Leaving aside the problems with Maps, SQL and the fact that some packages will install fo WP8 but not for Android ;-(
this specific one is clear (well the behaviour is clear - the cause is very unclear to me)
test project with all the bits (packages) I want loaded and functioning on all platforms
I need to use some functionality from xlabs so I add xlabs forms (the project targets ios, android and wp8)
Immediately get this error on compile (yes of course I've cleaned and even rebooted)
error : Cannot resolve dependency to assembly 'Xamar
4>in.Forms.Platform.WP8, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' b

I've tried unloading the WP8 part of the PCL solution - interestingly that then reports that several packages need updating when it didn't before (out of curiosity there are 5 main packages and 3 platforms so if I tried to experiment with each one that would be 8! or some 40,000 installs and recompiles ;-)
Has anyone any insights on xLabs compatibility with wp8 (actually wp8.1)
