I prepare my application to release ( android ) , during perform integration dotfuscator , described in https://www.preemptive.com/dotfuscator/pro/userguide/en/getting_started_xama

Solution 1:

Disclaimer: I work for PreEmptive Solutions on the Dotfuscator team, and am answering in that capacity.

Update: This issue has been corrected in version 1.3.0 of the file, available here. The original answer follows.

This is an error in the PreEmptive.Dotfuscator.Xamarin.targets file. We've filed an issue internally, but as a workaround for today, you can edit line 251 of that file to replace this:

<Destination>%(IntermediateSatelliteAssembliesWithTargetPath.Culture)\$(IntermediateSatelliteAssembliesWithTargetPath.TargetName).resources.dll</Destination>

with this:

<Destination>%(IntermediateSatelliteAssembliesWithTargetPath.Culture)\$(TargetName).resources.dll</Destination>

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
