Compatibility with android Support Library (Xamarin) #66

Hi. Are there plans to make MVVMLight work with android projects that utilize Android Support libraries?

I currently have Xamarin.Android project that relies on the AppCompat libraries (android support libraries) and I use mvvmlight 5.3. An activity must inherit from the support library and, at the same time must inherit from the mvvmlight. Since it's obviously impossible to inherit from both at the same time I have to use yet another component (made by Jim Bennett). It is all kind of not very convenient and makes me question if moving to mvvmlight standard version is a good chose. I really wish I can continue with mvvmlight. Can you reveal if there are any plans on making mvvmlight compatible with android support libraries, please?

Please, any comments on this are greatly appreciated.
I use the Microsoft AppCenter sdk in the app and the upcoming release of that sdk will not work any longer with PCL. So, updating to netcore version of MVVMLight is a must now, but doing so apparently (to my understanding) will break the compatibility of MVVMLight with the Android Support libraries. Am I understanding this right or I am totally wrong here?
Thank you very much for any and all help and advice you can provide.
