First, update Xamarin Studio and Xamarin Android to latest version. Then, clean your solution and set target to Android 4.4. Set also the linking option to None.

After all these steps, rebuild your solution and run, it should work. Please try it.

I think that you are trying to add AppCompat library to your app.

Be sure that you download the SDK like that. When you download these packages don't choose the last stable version. Instead choose any older version like that.

May you don't have the package for AppCompat. Download latest Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat libraries from NuGet and rebuild the project.
