How to convert byte[] to Bitmap on Xamarin forms

$

Need help to have Bitmap class on Xamarin Forms. Maybe DependencyService for Android and IOS.
I found that Xamarin forms does not have System.Drawing.Bitmap, then I installed Nuget "System.Drawing.Common" from Microsoft. Then program compiles without errors. But when running I receive this error:
**Could not resolve type with token 01000116 from typeref (expected class 'System.Drawing.Bitmap' in assembly 'System.Drawing.Common, Version=4.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51')
**
Tried a Google Search but no solution.
What I am trying to do, is receive a Photo in byte[] string and convert it to Bitmap to scale and print.
This is the code:

Function is called as: byte[] _buffer = PrintImage(PHOTO);

       public byte[] PrintImage(byte[] PHOTO)
        {
            Bitmap bmp;
            using (var ms = new MemoryStream(PHOTO))
            {
                bmp = new Bitmap(ms);
            }

            BitmapData data = GetBitmapData(bmp);        

            BitArray dots = data.Dots;
            byte[] width = BitConverter.GetBytes(data.Width);

            int offset = 0;
            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
            BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(stream);

            // center command
            bw.Write(27);
            bw.Write('a');
            bw.Write(1);

            // print image
            bw.Write((char)0x1B);
            bw.Write('@');

            bw.Write((char)0x1B);
            bw.Write('3');
            bw.Write((byte)24);

            while (offset < data.Height)
            {
                bw.Write((char)0x1B);
                bw.Write('*');         // bit-image mode
                bw.Write((byte)33);    // 24-dot double-density
                bw.Write(width[0]);  // width low byte
                bw.Write(width[1]);  // width high byte

                for (int x = 0; x < data.Width; ++x)
                {
                    for (int k = 0; k < 3; ++k)
                    {
                        byte slice = 0;
                        for (int b = 0; b < 8; ++b)
                        {
                            int y = (((offset / 8) + k) * 8) + b;
                            // Calculate the location of the pixel we want in the bit array.
                            // It'll be at (y * width) + x.
                            int i = (y * data.Width) + x;

                            // If the image is shorter than 24 dots, pad with zero.
                            bool v = false;
                            if (i < dots.Length)
                            {
                                v = dots[i];
                            }
                            slice |= (byte)((v ? 1 : 0) << (7 - b));
                        }

                        bw.Write(slice);
                    }
                }
                offset += 24;
                bw.Write((char)0x0A);
            }
            // Restore the line spacing to the default of 30 dots.
            bw.Write((char)0x1B);
            bw.Write('3');
            bw.Write((byte)30);

            bw.Flush();
            byte[] bytes = stream.ToArray();
            return bytes;       // logo + Encoding.Default.GetString(bytes);
        }

        public BitmapData GetBitmapData(Bitmap bmp) 
        {
            //using (var bitmap = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromFile(bmpFileName))

                int xheight = (int)(bitmap.Height * scale);
                int xwidth = (int)(bitmap.Width * scale);
                var dimensions = xwidth * xheight;
                var dots = new BitArray(dimensions);

                for (var y = 0; y < xheight; y++)
                {
                    for (var x = 0; x < xwidth; x++)
                    {
                        var _x = (int)(x / scale);
                        var _y = (int)(y / scale);
                        var color = bitmap.GetPixel(_x, _y);
                        var luminance = (int)(color.R * 0.3 + color.G * 0.59 + color.B * 0.11);
                        dots[index] = (luminance < threshold);
                        index++;
                    }
