Hi arditaridya,


Greetings from Syncfusion. 

We would like to let you know that our SfButton is compatible with AndroidX support. we have provided minimum version support for Xamarin Forms (3.6.0.344457) so that only a few dependencies are not referenced from AndroidX when you are working with Xamarin. Forms 4.5 version above. So, it throws the error related with required dependent package version of Xamarin.Android. Support.v7.AppCompat.

We also have been planning to upgrade our source control XF to the latest and during that period It will be resolved and that will be planned to move for any of our upcoming releases.

 To resolve this, please add that package (Xamarin.Android. Support.v7.AppCompat) manually.

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue for following packags.

- SfPullToRefresh

- SfComboBox

- SfAutoComplete

- SfButtons

Is there an ETA for this fix? Google Play doesn't allow apps to be uploaded with target version API 28 or less anymore (new apps maybe).

So I need to set the target version to API 29, which I can't because of the mentioned packages. 

Thank you!

Hi, i have the same issue, i have already added that package (Xamarin.Android. Support.v7.AppCompat) manually.

But, when i crate the signed apk for testing on my phone, it can't be installed.

When i change the target framework to api 28, it works again.

I use vs2019 (with the last update) and SF 18.2.0.44.

How could i solve it?

thanks!

Hi Sebastian,

We have checked the reported things and for resolving this AndroidX dependent issue instead of having that workaround (to update the required package), we will plan to move this to our source code by upgrading our XF version to 4.x. Currently we are in the phase of starting this. As we updated earlier, it will be available in our upcoming Volume 3,2020 release which is expected to be rolled out by end of September 2020.
