I attempted to add a migration using the dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate command, but I encountered an error message stating that the Entity Framework Core Package Manager Console Tools don't support Android platforms.

Answer 1

You are doing mix and match

Basically you are using dotnet cli command in visual studio if you want to use that then same do with dotnet cli

otherwise if you want to use visual studio then use the visual studio command like following

Add-Migration InitialCreate

In visual studio. For more reference see this link they have clearly mentioned both command
