DownloadCache dependency incompatibility with Forms

[LRP-sgravel]

The dependency change to Android.Support.Compat v.24.2.1 causes issues with Xamarin Forms. The fact it requires version 24 of an Android library causes a duplicate JAR with version 23 that Forms requires.

error : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added :  Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat;

This is a problem with Forms. It has a fixed dependency on Support v23.3.0 while we want to use the newer Support packages. Try talking to the Forms people to update their dependencies.

I'm aware of that. I'm using 4.2.0 in the mean time, There was no code update I think so why the update in the dependencies?

[martijn00]

Because we also updated the dependencies for MvvmCross-AndroidSupport.

You don't use MvvmCross-AndroidSupport in DownloadCache...

@LeRondPoint no but we use Xamarin.Android.Support in DownloadCache for some Compat methods.
