- In the Solution Explorer, right-click on our Solution.
- Click on Manage NuGet Packages for Solution..., as illustrated in the following screenshot:
- This brings up the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio, as can be seen in the following screenshot:
- Click on the Updates tab and check Xamarin.Essentials and Xamarin.Forms (and only those).
- Click Update, and accept any license dialog boxes that might pop up.

Let's continue by setting up the structure of the app.
Don't update any Android packages manually except for the Xamarin.Forms package. Doing so might lead to version confusion and headaches.
