Visual Studio 2017在安装Nuget软件包时冻结了，现在我的Xamarin项目无法加载

Question

I tried to install Xamarin.Android.Support.Annotations 28.0.0 only to the Android part of my Xamarin Forms project.

There's a popup with:

Microsoft Visual Studio is busy
We'll automatically report this delay to Microsoft...

No matter how long I wait, I can't open the project. What do I have to do to clear the cache to be able to load my project again?

Answer 1

What do I have to do to clear the cache to be able to load my project again?

To clear the nuget cache, you can download the NuGet command line tool from nuget.org .

Then, open a command prompt and cd to the directory to where nuget.exe is located.

You can list the local caches with this command:

nuget locals all -list

You can clear all caches with this command:

nuget locals all -clear

Check more info: Managing the global packages, cache, and temp folders .

Note: If your Visual Studio is not the latest version, please try to update it, MS fixed this issue on the some newer version.

Hope this helps.
