Hi Sri I think the problem you are seeing is that Portable Class Libaries are built against a set of DLLs which includes a strong reference to the System.Net types being in System.Net.dll
To get around this, I've written a type forwarding assembly for System.Net for MonoDroid - see https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/tree/vnext/Cirrious/System.Net - especially the forwarding.cs class - https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/blob/vnext/Cirrious/System.Net/Forwarding.cs Note that this type forwarding assembly is itself a MonoDroid class library and it forwards to the real implemented System.Net types which are stored within the MonoDroid System.dll - I think they are there because of historical moonlight reasons - i.e. it's all Microsoft's fault ;) If you include that type forwarding dll in your android app, then it should get past your current build error - and hopefully it'll run :) One fortunate thing here is that the MonoDroid runtime doesn't seem to enforce strong assembly signing rules at runtime - so it's happy to accept our System.Net.dll in place of the strongly signed Microsoft one. However.... if you are unlucky.... then I have also seen some compilation problems in some projects where the compiler has tried to strongly enforce parameter types - e.g. I did find some problems where a System.Uri wouldn't transfer nicely from MonoDroid to portable code - but I also found other places where the compiler didn't complain! If you hit these sorts of errors let me know - I've got half a tool written which decompiles the portable libraries and replaces the keys of the strong assembly names with the mono equivalents - I'm hoping it will be easy to run that as a pre-build step if I ever absolutely need it.
