System.IO.FileNotFoundException error to build Android project in Xamarin.Forms

I am not able to build my Android project of Xamarin.Form. However, iOS project works fine.

I have tried by remove all DLLs from Package and Bin folders but it doesn't work.

Can anybody guide me?

Error: Exception while loading assemblies: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load assembly 'Xamarin.iOS, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture: neutral, PublicKeyToken=84exxxxxxxx'. Perhaps it doesn't exist in the Mono for Android Profile?

enter image description here

Seems like some nuget package in your droid project is confused, remove them all and DLL references, and add them back one by one (this is what I'd do).

Or you could put your build verbosity on detailed and search through it and try and work it out from there.

Looks like your Android project is referencing some other project, which is referencing Xamarin.iOS. Look at your projects in your solution. Each one have a References folder in Solution Explorer. Which of them contains a Xamarin.iOS references? I bet you erroneously reference this project in your Android project

I suspect the issue has something to do with you by mistake adding Xamarin.iOS dll into the Android project

Since Xamarin.iOS is a native iOS dll it will not work in Xamarin.Android

  • Solution Under your project section for Android look for References.

  • Under References try to find if there is a Reference for Xamarin.iOS

  • If Yes then Remove it by Right clicking on the reference and selecting remove, If not then Revert

Goodluck!
