Can't build Xamarin.Forms project

Get the following error when doing a build. I get the "Build Succeeded" message for the source code but apparently something is going wrong when trying to output the source files. Anyone got any ideas?

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Common.targets: 

Error: Tool exited with code: 1. Output: unknown output extension: obj/Debug/android/bin

usage:
  dx --dex [--debug] [--verbose] [--positions=<style>] [--no-locals]
  [--no-optimize] [--statistics] [--[no-]optimize-list=<file>] [--no-strict]

  [--dump-method=<name>[*]] [--verbose-dump] [--no-files] [--core-library]

Under Xamarin Studio -> Preferences -> Projects -> SDK Locations -> Andorid was pointing to a directory that I was no longer using for the more recent SDK updates. Changed it to point to the correct SDK directory and build succeeded.
