visual studio for mac change target framework

Visual Studio Change Target Framework Update The Target

Project Options - Android: Target Framework combo box disabled.

I opened an old Xamarin Studio solution in Visual Studio for Mac that has both Android and iOS projects in it.

Visual Studio Change Target Framework Update The Target

I tried to update the Target Framework in the Project Options for the Android project.

The combo box that one uses to select the target framework is disabled (see attached screenshot).

Also note that if you inspect the Target Android version in Build AndroidApplication, it hints that the target framework version is API 21 (the original API level for this project that I was trying to update).

The Target framework combo box should not be disable and I should be able to change the Target framework.

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode).

Andriod Project Options - The Target version implies API 21.

Would you like to add this reference to your project anyway This warning message makes complete sense since the Visual Basic project I was working on is targeting the.NET Framework 2.0 and the project that was being referenced targeted the.NET Framework 3.5.

In a C project it is pretty easy; right-click on the project and choose properties and in the Application tab (vertical tab) you will see the Target Framework dropdown box: But in Visual Basic it is hidden.

Here is where I found how to change the Target Framework version after searching for a bit: Right-click on the project and choose properties and then select the Compile tab (vertical tab).

At the bottom of the Project Compile tab you will find an Advanced Compile Options button.
