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

Not sure if this is a late answer, but this specific error message occurs for one of the two reasons:

1. (Most probably the case): In your layout file, you may have mentioned a resource (drawable/image) incorrectly. For example, the image was in the mipmap folder path but you have pointed it wrongly to the drawable folder path.

2. Per many comments, there could be a hyphen or special character in one your resources' names or it starts with a number. However, please note, in this specific case, you will mostly see a aapt.exe has stopped or appt.exe has exited with error code 1 error. I am not sure if you will get obj\Debug\android\bin\packaged_resources not found error. My experience says that point 1 above is the case.
