Problems with prepare application to release - integrate dotfuscater protection Xamarin, Visual Studio 2017, android

问题

I prepare my application to release ( android ) , during perform integration dotfuscator , described in

https://www.preemptive.com/dotfuscator/pro/userguide/en/getting_started_xamarin.html On build of android project receive following error

PreEmptive.Dotfuscator.Xamarin.targets(251,9): error MSB4184: The expression """.TargetName" cannot be evaluated. Method 'System.String.TargetName' not found.

I get the file PreEmptive.Dotfuscator.Xamarin.targets as is. Should it be changed after download ?

I use Xamarin in Visual Studio 2017.

Update: This issue has been corrected in version 1.3.0 of the file, available here. The original answer follows.

This is an error in the PreEmptive.Dotfuscator.Xamarin.targets file. We've filed an issue internally, but as a workaround for today, you can edit line 251 of that file to replace this:

<Destination>%(IntermediateSatelliteAssembliesWithTargetPath.Culture)\$(IntermediateSatelliteAssembliesWithTargetPath.TargetName).resources.dll</Destination>

with this:

<Destination>%(IntermediateSatelliteAssembliesWithTargetPath.Culture)\$(TargetName).resources.dll</Destination>

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
