missing xamarin.googleplayservices references

Question

I am trying to use google maps on my xamarin forms application. I installed Google.forms.maps. With that installation, I got below packages:

Answer 1

Generic message:

Could not install package 'Xamarin.XXXXXXX'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=vX.X'

Specific message:

Could not install package 'Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base 60.1142.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v7.1'

Change your Xamarin.Androidproject to target at least MonoAndroid 8.0 as Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base v60.1142.0 has a dependency on 8.0

Nuget: Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base/60.1142.0
