Answer 1

If you have project a referencing project b, and using a Xamarin package (in my case appcompat) in project b, then make sure that the package is also referenced in project a.

Answer 2

if

Resources\Resource.designer.cs(29,110): error CS0117: '.........' does not contain a definition
 for 'Animation' [C:\......Droid.csproj]

Looks familiar Im not sure its a Telerik issue. Just updated a project from forms Library 1.5.0.6447 to 1.5.1.6468 and got a stck of them. Could be we'll have to wait on a Xamarin.Forms Fix.

EDIT Finally found the answer and if you haven't as well I'm guessing its the same. Open up your Android SDK manager and Install the Android 6.0 (API 23). If that doesn't work Heck just install everything. The dependency stack with Android appears to be a little messy. Either Telerik or Xamarin.Forms likely has a dependency on a specific Android SDK that you don't have installed.

Update on this one: Time moves on and this error seems to be a catchall for a variety of issues. Had the same problem recently and Removing all of the Xamarin Nuget packages and re adding them to the project fixed it. Thought it might be worth adding as another possible solution. Other things that have fixed this for me in the past. - Rebooting - Restarting the IDE - Cleaning and Recompiling the App. I didn't mention those earlier as I assume if your here you've already tried that :D

Answer 3

'Resource.Animation' does not contain a definition for projectName

'Resource.String'does not contain a definition for projectName

'Resource.*' if you messed up Resource.Designer.cs file, just deleting the Resource.Designer.cs file and doing a clean and rebuild that did the trick.

Steps:

1. Delete the Resource.Designer.cs
2. Clean the project
3. Rebuild the project
