Android App Compile Not Generating Package Resources

Question

When attempting to compile my Xamarin.Android app I get the compile error:

Error 3 The file \"obj\\Debug\\android\\bin\\packaged_resources\" does no

Answer 1

Follow the steps below to identify the problem:

1 - In Visual Studio: Tools> Options> Projects and solutions> Build and Run.

1.1 - In the dropdown: MSBuild project build output verbosity:> Diagnostic.

1.2 - Close the dialog box.

2 - View> Output (Ctrl + W, O).

3 - Run the build or rebuild.

In the output find the line:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(1665,3): error MSB6006: "aapt.exe" exited with code 1.

What is just above this error is what caused the error.
