Xamarin.Forms : No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version')

Issue

I am developing an application via Xamarin in Visual Studio and at my first try, I encountered the following errors :

No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version').

OR

Please install package: 'GPS Base' available in SDK installer.

Which were asked a lot in the Stack Overflow and even in the Xamarin Forum. For example the following links :

https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/47224/no-resource-found-that-matches-the-given-name-with-value-integer-google-play-services-version

How to fix"No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version)" in Xamarin android c#

BUT nobody has a reliable and correct answer to it.

Is there anybody who can help me to tackle this error please ?

Thanks in advance !

Solution

Well, I do not have the mentioned problems anymore when I removed Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and installed a fresh version of Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Edition. It seems that the newly released version of Visual Studio is smart enough to find and manage all those packages for me !
