Using SQLite-Net Extensions and SQLiteConnection in Xamarin.Mac

Question

I\'d like to know, how can I use SQLite-Net Extensions within Xamarin.Mac project?

I\'m using Xamarin Studio 5.9.5, I\'ve created project from Mac->App->Emp

Answer 1

The problem was in project type I choose. I choose Empty project that targets the new Unified API. For that project SQLiteNetExtensions package doesn’t have required libraries, such as SQLite.Net.Platform.Generic.

To solve that problem you could either choose project that targets Classic API (for that project SQLiteNetExtensions contains SQLite.Net.Platform) or create Unified API project and after adding SQLiteNetExtensions package, manually add SQLite.Net.Platform dlls to references.

Although, I'm not sure why these .Platform libraries are included in SQLiteNetExtensions package for Classic API and not for Unified API

This is how it works in my project:

dbConnection = new SQLiteConnection(new SQLite.Net.Platform.Generic.SQLitePlatformGeneric(), databasePath);
