I get 8 warnings in my Android project and I don´t know if I should install different NuGet package versions to avoid the warnings. Should I install different NuGet package versions?

I use Visual Studio Community Insiders Version 11121.172.

    Hello Kim,

    Yes, you should definitely care about these package version warnings. Version mismatches can cause your app to crash at runtime, especially with AndroidX libraries, which are tightly coupled and sensitive to version conflicts.

    You have two main options to resolve these dependency constraint violations:

    Option 1: Update all packages to consistent versions Update the conflicting packages to match the resolved versions:

    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData to 2.9.3
    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment.Ktx to 1.8.9
    • All related lifecycle packages to 2.9.3

    Option 2: Downgrade to maintain compatibility Keep your current package versions and downgrade the conflicting ones:

    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData.Core.Ktx to 2.8.7.3
    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData.Core to 2.8.7.3
    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment to 1.8.8.1
    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.Common to 2.9.2.x

    Here are the main conflicting packages identified in your warnings:

    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData.Core.Ktx 2.9.3 (expected: >= 2.8.7.3 && < 2.8.8)
    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData.Core 2.9.3 (expected: >= 2.8.7.3 && < 2.8.8)
    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment 1.8.9 (expected: >= 1.8.8.1 && < 1.8.9)
    • Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.Common 2.9.3 (expected: >= 2.9.2.1 && < 2.9.3)

    After making these changes, clean your environment:

    • Delete bin and obj folders
    • Clear the NuGet cache using nuget locals all --clear
    • Restore packages with dotnet restore

    Choose one approach and apply it consistently across all related AndroidX packages to avoid future conflicts.

    I hope this helps.

    Please try to update the following Nugets to the special version mentioned in the log you shared:

    Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData 2.9.3
Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment.Ktx 1.8.9
Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.ViewModelSavedState 2.9.3
Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.Runtime 2.9.3
Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.Runtime.Android 2.9.3

    Of course, you can also downgrade those NuGet packages to the corresponding version range. However, it is recommended that you upgrade those NuGet packages, as the latest version contains some recently fixed issues.

    After you execute the actions above, then please rebuild your app. The warnings should disappear.
