Description

• Create new Xamarin Forms app in Visual Studio
• Add reference to Apache.Ignite NuGet package
• Try to rebuild all:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(1697,2): error XA2002: Can not resolve reference: `System.Configuration`, referenced by `Apache.Ignite.Core`. Please add a NuGet package or assembly reference for `System.Configuration`, or remove the reference to `Apache.Ignite.Core`.

Xamarin does not include System.Configuration assembly.

The workaround is to manually add a reference to System.Configuration from anywhere (it is not used at runtime, we just need to satisfy the build):

  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="System.Configuration">
      <HintPath>..\..\bin\System.Configuration.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
  </ItemGroup>
