When using the Telerik project template, the assembly references are added using full paths.

This presents a problem for source control projects as Xamarin projects are frequently used across Mac and PC. When a windows file path to the UI for Xamarin installation folder is used, this is not compatible for a Mac machine.

Current implementation uses this type of path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for Xamarin R2 2018\Binaries\[PlatformName]\Telerik.dll

This path would not be present on a Mac, however if you use a relative path instead, like this:

..\..\Progress\Telerik UI for Xamarin R2 2018\Binaries\[PlatformName]\Telerik.dll

 the developer on the Mac could place the Telerik installation in a similar folder path and both PC and Mac could use assembly references.



Alternative
Add an option to choose the Telerik NuGet package reference instead of assembly references.
