Error while debugging a Xamarin iOS System.Net.HttpMessageHandler

Question

I am new on Xamarin... I am trying to build a iOS application using Xamarin Studio on a mac, i am trying to use Azure Mobile Services too, but i get the following Error:

The type System.Net.HttpMessageHandler is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. Consider adding a reference to assembly 'System.Net.Http, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a (CS0012)

on the following code:

public static MobileServiceClient client = new MobileServiceClient("URL","Key");

Somebody knows whats going on???

I just had the same issue while working on a cross platform app. I simply added a reference to System.Net.Http in my android project and this resolved the problem. I'm assuming the same might work for your IOS project as well.

Simply adding the reference to System.Net.Http worked for me.

I would suggest adding the HttpClient PCL Nuget package as well as the BCL.Async PCL package to your project.

Hope this helps.
