Method 'Plugin.Settings.Abstractions.ISettings.GetValueOrDefault' not found.

I am using Xamarin.Forms 2.3.3.175. On iOS it works perfectly, yet on Android I get this message directly, without even seeing ui elements in my app.

public static string GeneralSettings
		{
			get
			{
				return AppSettings.GetValueOrDefault<string>(SettingsKey, SettingsDefault);
			}
			set
			{
				AppSettings.AddOrUpdateValue<string>(SettingsKey, value);
			}
		}

Bug

Version Number of Plugin:2.5.1.0 Device Tested On: Simulator Tested On: Accelerated x86 (default Visual Studio for Mac)

Expected Behavior

I can get a value from settings.

Actual Behavior

Before even accessing the string, I get “Method ‘Plugin.Settings.Abstractions.ISettings.GetValueOrDefault’ not found.”

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Install the plugin in the PCL and Android. I run it, and get this error.

@Thijmen What was the solution in your case? The project in #37 works.

Update By cleaning the solution the issue is now resolved

I ran into this after updating to 3.0.1 today. As @jamesmontemagno said, reinstall the package…
