MissingManifestResourceException on Windows Phone 8.1 with .resx resources

Question

I\'m developing a Windows Phone 8.1 app that also targets Android(Xamarin)

As ever I added my string resources(.resx) on a PCL and referenced them on my launcher project

Answer 1

I got to the bottom of this today. While bundling the app package, resources in dependencies that are not for a language being used by the app are stripped out. To prevent this from happening, add the following assembly-level attribute to your application.

using System.Resources;

[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("en")]
