cannot install into a PCL 78 project about restease HOT 8 CLOSED

so I'm contacting the package author ;)

from restease.

It requires a TypeBuilder, which is only available in .net projects and not pcls. I'm considering changing things so that this restriction is lifted for 2.0, but for now Refit is probably what you're after, unfortunately.

oh ok, too bad ;) thanks

Sorry :( It's one of the trade-offs I made for not having RefitStubs.cs in your project.

what's the issues with the stub ? besides having an ugly random file laying around ? cause if its the only issue blocking the use on mobile platforms, it's too bad

from restease.

Mainly an ugly random file that constantly changes lying around. Also, I wanted more intelligence in the auto-generated interface implementation: it means we can get away with less reflection, less boxing, things like method overloads work with issue, etc. Also auto-generating IL is much easier than auto-generating C#.

I've got plans to generate the interface implementations at compile-time and inject them into the assembly being compiled, but that's a little way off (I need to get my head around Mono.Cecil first...)

Curious if you've gotten back to this? Would LOVE to use this in my Xamarin apps

from restease.

I went down the route of supporting .net core instead: I support netstandard1.3. I'm not sure where that sits in the PCL nomenclature... The .NET Platform Standard implies that Xamarin supports all netstandard versions.

There were plans to use the source generation features of VS15 to support a wider range of netstandard versions, but they were canned. I then considered using Fody, but that doesn't yet have .net core support either..
