You should change the MainActivity.cs Build Action property as 'none' instead of 'compile'. I Hope this will resolve your problem, it worked for me.

1) Go to Project folder's Properties -> (Uncheck the Read only box) -> (Check apply to folders & sub folders)

2) Reopen and build the project.

Edit the .csproj and find

<AndroidResgenFile>Resources\Resource.designer.cs</AndroidResgenFile>

replace with: 

<MonoAndroidResourcePrefix>Resources</MonoAndroidResourcePrefix>
<AndroidResgenFile>Resources\Resource.designer.cs</AndroidResgenFile>
<AndroidResgenClass>Resource</AndroidResgenClass>
