Upgrading on Mac
The purpose of this topic is to explain you how to upgrade Telerik UI for Xamarin to a newer version on Mac.
There are two options for referencing Telerik components and the upgrade method depends on which one you chose. Both are listed below:
Upgrade using the Telerik NuGet server
As a prerequisite, you would need to have Telerik NuGet packages server configured in Visual Studio for Mac as described in the following topic: Telerik NuGet server.

Upgrade manually added assemblies

- Download the installation method you prefer (pkg installation or zip file) from you Telerik account, check Download Product Files for more details.

- Back up your application.
- Update all the Telerik references in all projects (.Net Standard/Shared, Android, iOS) in Visual Studio for Mac to point to the new assemblies.
- Clean the solution.
