title: Could not find android.jar for API Level 26 in Visual Studio 2017
body: <blockquote>
    <p>Could not find android.jar for API Level 26. This means the Android
    SDK platform for API Level 26 is not installed. Either install it in
    the Android SDK Manager (Tools > Open Android SDK Manager...), or
    change your Xamarin.Android project to target an API version that is
    installed. (C:\Program Files
    (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-O\android.jar missing.)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>As you can see from below that I have the correct api sdk platforms installed but as you will notice on the error message, it is searching for an android-O directory. </p>

  <p>Here is my directory which you will notice has everything in it but doesn't contain android-O</p>

  <p>I looked in my visual studio project settings and here is what it shows for target framework</p>

  Does this mean that Visual Studio 2017 doesn't support Android SDK 26+?</p>
