I read this post about .resx files having a corresponding .designer.cs file that is generated when you create a new .resx file in Xamarin studio. I am using .resx for localization in my Xamarin shared project.
Unfortunately as of 24 Aug 2017 and version 15.3.2 , it seems that you are no longer able to create a .resx file through the Add->new item solution wizard.
One solution is to create a .resx file outside of VS, and then use the Add->Existing Item solution wizard, and the .designer.cs file is supposedly generated automatically. (this did not work for me)
Another solution is to change the file format of a .txt file in the solution wizard, and then run the custom tool ResXFileCodeGenerator in the AppResources property field. (This also did not work for me)
One final solution I found is to programmatically create the designer file, but I couldn't get this code to run, and surely there is a better solution.
So my question is:
What is the correct way to create a AppResources.resx file, with a corresponding AppResources.designer.cs file in Visual Studio Community 2017 Version 15.7.3
