Xamarin.Facebook vs Xamarin.Facebook.Android

Question

I am looking at some source code for a Xamarin Android app where i have to update its Facebook sdk support. Looking at the installed packages i see that both Xamarin.Facebook and Xamarin.Facebook.Adroid are added to the same project;

Looking in Nuget.org i see that Xamarin.facebook is some sort or prereleased or something unlike Xamarin.Facebook.Android am i missing something here! are both of them needed to work with Facebook sdk in a Xamarin android app?

EDIT

Here are both installed nuget packages:

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

If you would check the NuGet documents for Xamarin.Facebook plugin you will notice that they have not updated the stable NuGet package since 8/18/2015 ie fours years ago

And the last pre-release was released on 8/25/2015 which means basically it is being discontinued by Xamarin/Microsoft as is dead.

On the other hand Xamarin.Facebook.Android is still being maintained and if I am not wrong was just updated yesterday.

It would be wise if you just remove Xamarin.Facebook Nuget and take care of all the dependencies using the Android Nuget.
