Xamarin Native PCL in Visual Studio 2015 - New App errors

Question

So I am trying to create a new app with Visual Studio 2015 and Xamarin, I created a new Cross Platform Native Portable app, I try to install AppCompat Library and immediately throws errors, so far I got these:

• The element 'LinearLayout' has invalid child element 'android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar'.

• No resource found for ... (multiple of these)

I am trying to create a left drawer but with these errors I cant move forward. So far I have tried to delete all Xamarin Library files from C:/Users/MyUser/AppData/Local/Xamarin to no avail and searching everywhere on google and here noone has found a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you delete the bin/obj folders, it will clear out a previous build cache that might have a potential conflict with the support libs. This is a known issue that I've still been trying to figure out myself. When I run into it again I'll report a bug on it internally.
