Hi folks,

I'm getting the error below when trying to add google play services with nuget. I don't understand what the error is telling me. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Many thanks, Mike

Go to Project Properties and set it to compile with a specific version instead of latest sdk version. Then try again.
