NuGet Packages
Core Packages
These are the base packages for each platform, together with the Prism's Core assembly as a cross-platform PCL.
| Platform | Assembly | Package | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCL | Prism.dll | Prism.Core |  |
| WPF | Prism.Wpf.dll | Prism.Wpf |  |
| Xamarin.Forms | Prism.Forms.dll | Prism.Forms |  |
| Windows 10 UWP | Prism.Windows.dll | Prism.Windows |  |
Container-specific packages
Each supported IoC container has its own package assisting in the setup and usage of that container together with Prism. The assembly is named using this convention: Prism.Container.Platform.dll, e.g. Prism.Unity.Wpf.dll.
Following matrix shows the platform specific support currently available.
| Package | Version | WPF | Win10 UWP | Xamarin.Forms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prism.Autofac (*) |  |
X | X | ↓ |
| Prism.Autofac.Forms |  |
- | - | X |
| Prism.DryIoc |  |

(*) As Xamarin Forms also supports UWP now, adding Prism.Unity, Prism.Ninject, or Prism.Autofac puts in some incorrect dependencies. Therefore we created a new package for Xamarin Forms projects.
(**) MEF is supported with WPF for compatibility with previous versions. It will not be added to Windows 10 UWP or Xamarin Forms.
Note that adding the container-specific package to your project, will also pull in the correct platform-specific package and the core PCL library. E.g. when you'd like to use Unity in a WPF project, add the Prism.Unity package and the rest will be pulled in as well.
