How to generate nuget package from Xamarin.iOS binding project?

Question

I have created a Xamarin.iOS binding project by adding UnityFramework.framework as Native References. When I build this binding project it generstes a .dll file. Now I want to generate a Nuget package and for my actual project I need to add this nuget package instead of the DLL. I did read this but not clear how to apply it for my existing binding project. Please help me on how to create a nuget package from my biding project. Thank you very much.

You can do that using a nuspec file like so:

%NUGET_EXE_PATH% pack YourApplication.nuspec -version 1.0.0.0 -Properties Configuration=Release

The nuspec file looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2013/05/nuspec.xsd">
    <metadata>
        <id>YourApplicationName</id>
        <version>1.0.0.0</version>
        <title>Title</title>
        <authors>Author</authors>
        <owners/>
        <licenseUrl>https://yoururl.com</licenseUrl>
        <projectUrl>https://yoururl.com</projectUrl>
        <iconUrl>file://YourProgram_Icon.ico</iconUrl>
        <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
        <description>Your description</description>
        <releaseNotes/>
        <copyright>Your copyright notice</copyright>
        <tags/>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency id=""/>
        </dependencies>
        <summary/>
    </metadata>
    <files>
        <file src="..\InstallDir\YourApplication.exe" target="YourApplication.exe"/>
        <file src="..\InstallDir\Library1.dll" target="Library1.dll"/>
        <file src="..\InstallDir\library2.dll" target="Library2.dll"/>
    </files>
</package>
