WP8 App Crashes after localization

Recently, I decided to try the Multilingual App Toolkit in order to add localization support in my already existing WP8 application.

I followed the instructions, it generated the AppResources files for the languages I selected and it was ready to be tested. Unfortunately, every time I deploy the app to my device (tried with emulator too) it instantly crashes without any exception, message or any kind of other information. I tried to clean the project, delete bin and obj folders, disable the languages I added before and the Multilingual App Toolkit with no luck.

I created a new project just with the AppResources files and it worked fine. But, I don't think that the problem is in my code because it doesn't even reach the App() method in App.xaml.cs file before it crashes.

Anyone knows what's going on?

EDIT:
Does the Resources folder have a size limit?

EDIT 2:
I attached a debugger to the Visual Studio process and when I am running the project on my phone the following exceptions are thrown:

The thread 0x3d34 has exited with code 259 (0x103).

A first chance exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in PresentationCore.dll

A first chance exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in PresentationCore.dll

EnC: Enter Debug Mode: project 'ProjectName'

A first chance exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' occurred in JetBrains.Platform.ReSharper.VisualStudio.Core.dll

The thread 0x1900 has exited with code 259 (0x103).

A first chance exception of type 'Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.InvalidProjectFileException' occurred in Microsoft.Build.dll

A first chance exception of type 'Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.InvalidProjectFileException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

The thread 0x27d0 has exited with code 259 (0x103).


Thanks

That's a very rare problem. Try this: Create a new project with only the AppResources files & try to deploy the project. If the new app crash, then the problem its with the AppResources files; if not, then your problem is in your code.

I fixed this by doing what I wanted to avoid most;

I created a completely new project, copied all the files from the old project to the new one ( the localized files too). Everything works fine now.

I think there is something wrong with the ResX Custom Tool which generates the AppResources.Designer.cs file.

first four things I would check is if the AppResources.resx access modifier is public

that the designer is not causing a error.

that the folder is named Resources.

multi lingual app toolkit is enabled in tools menu.

I have never ran into a size issue in the resources folder. I would recommend starting with one language then adding to the list after it is fully functional.

Did you move your localization files to another project or did some name changing?

If so, check [your resource file for English.Designer.cs

and there is code that looks for resources:

/// <summary>
        ///   Returns the cached ResourceManager instance used by this class.
        /// </summary>
        [global::System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute(global::System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)]
        public static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager ResourceManager {
            get {
                if (object.ReferenceEquals(resourceMan, null)) {
                    global::System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new global::System.Resources.ResourceManager("Localization.Resources.AppResources", typeof(AppResources).Assembly);
                    resourceMan = temp;
                }
                return resourceMan;
            }
        }

In my code, the string Localicazation.Resources.AppResources represents Project.Folder.ResourceFiles.
