I Can't Find Main.axml In Any Android Template, Nor Can I Open Other Axml Files

Edit: I also forgot to mention that I tried running Visual Studio as administrator with all the templates up and I still got the same results Edit2: I figured out that in another p

Solution 1:

But none of these axml files can be opened --> visual studio freezes and then I have to close it from task manager

This is an issue of Visual Studio 15.7.3, Xamarin team is generating updated builds right now.

For now, here are some workaround:

• If you need to open a .axml file in VS 15.7.3, you could change its extension name to .xml then open it.

Or:

• Right-click the .axml file then use "open with" --> eg: choose XML Editor

Update:

Xamarin Team has been generated updated builds to resolve this issue and it only works for VS 15.7.3, for detailed information you could refer to:
