Can't Compile Xamarin UWP App

Question

I created this repo: https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Adapt.Presentation.git

I haven't been able to get any of the samples in this project compiling or running. I'm biting one off at a time. In particular the UWP sample won't compile or run. For a start, the code that Visual Studio is generating has compilation errors. I have tried Git cleaning the solution over and over. I have also deleted all the Xamarin temp files here: C:\\Users[USERNAME]\\AppData\\Local

I have the latest version of Xamarin , and Visual Studio 2017 (15.2 26430.12).

Xamarin 4.5.0.476 (1be4f0c)

Xamarin.Android SDK 7.3.1.2 (9dbc4c5)

Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDK 10.10.0.35 (4cffddf)

How can I get it to compile and run?

These are the errors I get :

Obviously, all the compilation errors are in the generated code that I have no control over.

Answer 1

The problem turned out to be that there was no default root namespace in the highest level project. It turns out that if you do not specify a default root namespace in a UWP project, it generates code incorrectly. This makes sense.I consider it a bug in Visual Studio or the csproj format, but at least I know why it is happening now.
