Yeah we tend to be a bit strict about the versions of the dependencies since we have been bitten by that before and things broke. I'll see if I can update them a little bit and see if that still works OK. Would you be willing to test the packages that are generated by a PR from this to see if that still works good for your app?

[MagicAndre1981]

my apps works after updating the androidx references. Only the warnings are annoying.

[MagicAndre1981]

Also update Xamarin.AndroidX.Preference, the Version 1.1.1.9 you use is Monodroid9 and not monodroid13 and may cause issues.

I've thought about this one for a future release to not do the restraints from our side but I decided to keep them in place. If I took the version range off it might cause people to just install the latest versions and things might break over time. With this still in place, we can sort of safely say that it has been stable with the versions that we have indicated here, even after the Xamarin.Forms support has expired.

If someone still wants to update to the latest packages they will get these warnings and you're free to ignore them or even not see them anymore if that's what you want by suppressing them.

I will bump that Preference one although I think it's fine but better safe than sorry.

Thanks!
