    Wrong xamarin.forms version referenced in template

    Reported by andre.ziegler Dec 05, 2017 at 03:26 PM windows 10.0visual studio 2017 version 15.5fixed in: visual studio 2017 version 15.5.1

    I've updated to 15.5 and tried the Crossplatform Template with .net standard as shared code type. When I try to compile the project I get an error that Xamarin.Forms can't be found:

    Unable to find package Xamarin.Forms with version (>= 250121934.0.0)
    - Found 163 version(s) in nuget.org [ Nearest version: 2.5.0.121934 ]

    In the .csproj of the shared code I see this line:

    <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Forms" Version="250121934" />
    </ItemGroup>

    so the "." are missing. Unloading the project, adding the missing "." fixes it:

    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Forms" Version="2.5.0.121934" />

    Please fix this template in the next update.

    The issue is fixed in Update 15.5.1 and the project now compiles fine with correct NuGet references :
