I changed the ApplicationDisplayVersion and ApplicationVersion values in the csproj file and it worked. Looks like VS will not publish the same version twice, which is a good feature because I used to forget to increment the versions when developing in Xamarin.

If you are getting error for (.aab) package format, check your .Android.csproj file, and make sure this entry exists:

 <AndroidPackageFormat>aab</AndroidPackageFormat>

And then follow the steps below:

  1. Exit Visual Studio
  2. Delete all bin and obj folders from your project
  3. Start Visual Studio
  4. Open your project
  5. Clean Solution
  6. Rebuild Solution
  7. Archive android project

I hope this helps.

You could also solve the error by deleting obj and bin folders under main and android folders.

You can recheck your .Android.csproj file, and try to remove

 <AndroidPackageFormat>aab</AndroidPackageFormat>

If the problem persist, try the following method:

1.right your android project and click property > Build > Output path;

2.change

..\bin\yourappname-android\Release\AnyCPU

by

 ..\bin\yourappname-android\AnyCPU
