Java.Interop.Tools.Diagnostics.XamarinAndroidException: error XA2006

Question

I'm trying to release a Xamarin.Forms application, but when I change to release in the configuration for the Android project and build I get the following error:

Java.Interop.Tools.Diagnostics.XamarinAndroidException: error XA2006: Could not resolve reference to 'System.Int32 Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Resource/String::ApplicationName' (defined in assembly 'Syncfusion.SfChart.XForms.Android, Version=13.2451.0.29, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null') with scope 'Xamarin.Forms.Platform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. When the scope is different from the defining assembly, it usually means that the type is forwarded. ---> Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve System.Int32 Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Resource/String::ApplicationName

The same error message occurred with me. I was able to solve it like this: Right-click the Android Project > Properties > Android Options > Linker, and then choose the "None" option in the Linking property.

this is not a solution. xamarin linker is there for a purpose and you need to resolve the error, not skip it. – Emil Oct 11 '20 at 21:43
This is a bandage not a fix. – William Smith May 19 '22 at 22:34

We suspect that there are some version conflicts between Syncfusion/Xamarin.Forms assemblies and we kindly request you to follow the below steps.

Update your Essential Studio for Xamarin to latest version (15.1.0.41) which can be downloaded from the following location.

Link: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/version-history/15_1_0_41
Update your Xamarin.Forms version to 2.3.3.180.

Please get back to us if you are still facing any issues.
