A few days ago my solution seemed to work fine, but today all of the sudden the Android project doesn't build. I get no Error, but I do get the following output:

1>Build started.
1>Project "MyApp.Android.csproj" (Install target(s)):
1>Project "MyApp.csproj" (GetTargetFrameworks target(s)):
1>Done building project "MyApp.csproj".

1>"obj\Debug\MyApp.Android.dll;obj\Debug\MyApp.Android.dll" is an invalid value for the "OutputAssembly" parameter of the "Csc" task. Multiple items cannot be passed into a parameter of type "Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem".
1>Done building project "MyApp.Android.csproj" -- FAILED.
1>Build FAILED.

I also tried to delete the bin en obj folders, clean and rebuild the Solution and deleting the MyApp.Android.dll. But after the Rebuild the exact same thing happens again.

I do get the following warning:

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Warning IDE0006 Error encountered while loading the project. Some project features, such as full solution analysis for the failed project and projects that depend on it, have been disabled.   BarApp.Android      1   Active

You have to set your Project Linking to Sdk Assemblies Only and set support architecture to armeabi - v7 and x86.

after try to clean and rebuild the project

It work like charm.
