Copy file to folder before build csproj

I can not figure out how to copy a file into another folder before the build is done. It is a Xamarin.Forms project.

My current approach is: 

<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
    <ItemGroup>
      <CrossFiles Include="..\path\$(Configuration)\droid\AndroidManifest.xml;" />
    </ItemGroup>

    <Copy SourceFiles="@(CrossFiles)" DestinationFolder="Properties/" SkipUnchangedFiles="true" />
</Target>

It is on the bottom of the file directly above </Project>.

This approach seems to have no effect. What I am doing wrong ? Thanks for your help.
