Xamarin - No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@style/MyTheme')

Using Xamarin Forms I cannot seem to get the project to build. I can build a normal Xamarin android project but it keeps failing when using Forms

My styles are defined as: style.xml in values

 <resources>
      <style name="MyTheme" parent="MyTheme.Base">
      </style>
      <style name="MyTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/window_background</item>
        <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
      </style>
    </resources>

style.xml in values-21

<resources>
  <style name="MyTheme" parent="MyTheme.Base">

  </style>
</resources>

And the following in the manifest 

  <application android:label="AppName" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:theme="@style/MyTheme"></application>

I believe you have a typo in the file name. It should bestyles.xml versus style.xml. You would still use @style/MyTheme however.
