I am coding a Xamarin application and these are the errors that I am getting when building my application:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(2,2): Error XA5206: Please install package: 'Android Support Library' available in SDK installer.

I have added the Android Support Library v4 as a component and in the Android SDK Manager I seem to have everything installed correctly.

Can I please have some help to get my code building successfully?

Thanks in advance

EDIT

I have added the Android Support Library v7 AppCompat as a component and am now getting these two errors:

in case your "embedded" folder is missing, just downloading and extracting the android_m2repository_r10.zip does not solve the issue.

I deleted the entire C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Android.Support.v4\23.0.1.3 folder and then rebuild as described here: [Error after updating the Android.Support Library v7 AppCompat to the 21.0.3 version
