Getting the following issue while trying to build App Release Mode in Xamarin Android. Why is it appearing and how can it be resolved? Severity Code Description Project File

Solution 1:

I was able to resolve the issue in by changing the Target Android Version and setting the Java Max Heap Size in the following manner.

1. Right click MyApp.Droid
2. Properties > Android Options > Advanced (tab)
3. Set 'Java Max Heap Size' to 1024m

Solution 2:

Try this configuration for Debug mode

Solution 3:

I got this too after upgrading to Xamarin Forms. You need to make sure your Target Framework is the last version.

Solution 4:

After updated xamarin version i start getting this error. Clean project first then build it again. fixed for me. Rebuild not working.

Solution 5:

Check Mono android subfolder in Xamarin.forms package folder, sometimes linking to old Mono android version. Change it to new. It worked for me. I changed from Monoandroid 8.0 to Monoandroid 9.0 of some dll's like Xamarin.Android.Platforms etc..
