Description
Creating a .Net standard2.0 project that also has Android references to Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompatseems to create an unnecessary transient dependency toXamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat`.
The .Net standard project references Microsoft.Identity.Client which only has a reference to Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat in the MonoAndroid version of the assembly yet dotnet restore seems to try and restore that package.
Repro steps
I created a repo here: https://github.com/7sharp9/paket-mobile-test
clone https://github.com/7sharp9/paket-mobile-test
cd paket-mobile-test
dotnet restore Core
Expected behavior
dotnet restore Core works successfully
Actual behavior
dotnet restore Core fails with
dotnet restore Core
Restoring packages for /Users/dave.thomas/Documents/paket-mobile-test/Core/Core.fsproj...
/Users/dave.thomas/Documents/paket-mobile-test/Core/Core.fsproj : error NU1202: Package Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat 25.4.0.2 is not compatible with netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0). Package Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat 25.4.0.2 supports: monoandroid70 (MonoAndroid,Version=v7.0)

Research direction
Clone the linked paket-mobile-test repository and run dotnet restore Core for Core/Core.fsproj to reproduce the incompatible Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat dependency. Trace how Paket or restore selects dependencies for netstandard2.0 versus MonoAndroid, and consider the issue done when the restore completes without attempting to restore the Android-only package.
