portable class library - Xamarin.Forms: PCL -> .Net Standard upgrade -
i'm done app. i'm using xamarin.forms (pcl project shared code). there benefit of switching pcl .net strandard? have read articles, still not 100% sure whether there benefits of upgrading, e.g. security, performance or is't more richer api mainly? thoughts.
there no direct improvement in security or performance, in time .net standard replace pcls. pcl not cross-platform standard, make cross-platform switch standard smart thing do.
also, lot of nuget packages switching support standard, , not receive upgrades code in pcl library. coming security , performance part; if bug found in nuget package, not receive update containing fix because you're still on 'older' pcl technology. bit of stretch, if want future-proof, switch .net standard mandatory.
right we're in bit of pickle. cannot reference standard pcl , vice versa (not 100% sure on scenario's think can't). so, right have check if nugets using, have .net standard version already. if not, you're stuck on pcl if can't without nuget. creator of nuget supply pcl , .net standard version in 1 nuget, can transition 1 other. see if true plugins using.
