TFM net8.0 and removal of net7.0 was: TFM net8.0

[moljac]

net7.0-android hit EOL on May 14, 2024 and thus we will no longer support it in our AndroidX binding packages. Dropping net7.0-android will allow us to support packages that require API-34 like newer versions of Google Material going forward.

Update packages to use net8.0-android instead of net7.0-android.

Note that the "removed" published-namespaces are namespaces that only contained an empty Resources class that is no longer generated.

Samples changes:

• migrated samples to SDK style projects
• NuGet Cetntral Package Management
• collecting of Nugets - minor changes
• Cake build script - minor changes

Old description:

Does this change any of the generated binding API's?

Probably. Not sure yet. There were some Metadata changes.

Describe your contribution

In May support for Xamarin.Classic (monoandroid12) and net6.0 will be dropped and this is recon PR to see what is ahead of the team.

We are still missing the required targets/projects etc for the Asset Pack sample by the looks of things.

Just to leave comment here, because it is confusing: that was UI not showing change[s] - targets/projects are not missing.

Closing as GPS packages have been moved to https://github.com/xamarin/AndroidX repository and this repository is no longer used.
