Write platform specific code in crossplatform xamarin project

Question

I tried to use the Xamarin.Android namespace in my crossplatform Xamarin project. When i now build the .iOS Project, i get the notification, that this namespace is, obviously, not existing for iOS.

How can i write platform specific Code, where i use platform specific libraries ?

I already checked the Microsoft Docs but i did not find any information that could solve my problem.

Welcome to stack overflow.

Above is a link to DependencyService documentation. DependencyService allows you as a developer to call platform-specific code from your Xamarin.Forms shared code.
