Bug Fixes

Fixed build action not available on installing package into a PackageReference project

After installing the Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Basement NuGet package, into a project that used PackageReferences, the GoogleServicesJson build action, defined by this NuGet package, was not available in the list of build actions when you right clicked a file in the Solution window. The build action was available after the solution was closed and re-opened.

Installing a NuGet package into a project that used PackageReferences would not re-evaluate the project’s MSBuild information. This resulted in any custom AvailableItemNames not being available to be used as a build action in the Solution window. The build actions for a project were cached so these are now cleared to ensure the latest items are available after an re-evaluation.

Fixed NuGet extension api install events not raised for PackageReference projects

The NuGet extension API has a PackageReferenceAdded event and a PackageReferenceRemoved. These were being raised if a project had a packages.config file but not if the project used PackageReferences.
