Compatibility with xamarin forms?

[axcl]

I am creating a chat application. I have successfully added Sharp.XMPP library using Nuget in Xamarin Forms project using Shared Assets cause i came to know that PCL is not supported from one the post on stackoverflow. But i can not use library in my shared code cause i can not reference it there.

@axcl , That library won't run inside a PCL, I faced that problem when I tried to use, but that will not be a problem in a Shared project. once you create a Shared project, you can just create a ChatService.cs and handle the chat logic. There others suggestions like create two individual PCL for Android and iOS. but in my case just the share project was enough. be advise though lots of example on the community for xamarin.forms are made on PCL. that was one of the drawbacks. a part from that, I think that library will be useful.
cheers...
