  You can use Shared Project for PCL part. This way you only have to install packages to Android or to iOS project. And Profile will not be problem completely

  Using interfaces?

  Another approach - which I think you're alluding to in your reply "Using Interfaces" is to (wait for it) use Interfaces.

  1. Install the Packages in your platform-specific projects.
  2. Create an Interface for each package which contains the methods/properties you need to invoke/access from your PCL.
  3. Create an implementation of the Interface in each platform-specific project which calls the package methods.
  4. Register the implementation with the Dependency/IoC container on each platform.

  This does seem a bit heavyweight though - you'll have to create the (admittedly probably pretty lightweight) Interface implementation classes for each package and platform.

  @Emixam23 Sry for not answering
  Why didn't you just get Shared project? Works great for me.
  Shared project has no nuget packages dependecies itself. It uses all packages from your Android or iOS project.
  use interfaces and IoC than is great option, but you should try Shared Project

  It works with Xamarin I have a Xamarin solution (.NET Core 1.6, Android 7.1, iOS, UWP Build 16299)

  • First, take a look at this video -> https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/XamarinShow/Snack-Pack-15-Upgrading-to-XamarinForms-to-NET-Standard
  • Once you're done with it, install Coudinary.Core into each project

  There is an example of how you can use it:

  public class CloudinarySDK
  {
      private Cloudinary cloudinary { get; set; }
  
      public CloudinarySDK()
      {
  
      }
  
      public void Init()
      {
          Account account = new Account(
                  "my_cloud_name",
                  "my_api_key",
                  "my_api_secret");
  
          cloudinary = new Cloudinary(account);
      }
  
      /// <summary>
      /// Upload a file by its path.
      /// </summary>
      /// <returns>The upload end path.</returns>
      /// <param name="path">Path.</param>
      public async Task<string> Upload(string path)
      {
          ImageUploadParams uploadParams = new ImageUploadParams()
          {
              File = new FileDescription(path),
              PublicId = String.Format("{0}.{1}.jpg", User.GetUserInstance().ID, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HH:mm:ss"))
          };
          ImageUploadResult uploadResult = await cloudinary.UploadAsync(uploadParams);
  
          return uploadResult.Uri.ToString();
      }
  
      /// <summary>
      /// Delete the specified url.
      /// </summary>
      /// <returns>The delete.</returns>
      /// <param name="url">URL.</param>
      public void Delete(string url)
      {
          DeletionParams deletionParams = new DeletionParams(url);
          cloudinary.DestroyAsync(deletionParams);
      }
  }
  

  Hope it helps !
