I'm unable to target Android SDK 27 in my Xamarin.Android app; in target frameworks the newest sdk listed is 8.0 and when I try and add the latest Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat which depends on SDK 27 I get the following error:
"You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v8.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework."
I've installed SDK 27 using the SDK Manager and my environment looks like this:
