Today, for no reason that I can determine, my Android builds started showing this error below whenever I try to archive them:
Please ensure that you are using a release configuration and that the "Use Shared Mono Runtime" option in your project's build options is unchecked.
I have, of course, ensured that the "Use Shared Runtime" (that's the closest thing to the error message) option is unchecked. I am also using the same exact Release configuration that has successfully built and archived for months, including last week.
All that said, has anyone else encountered this error and know of a way around it?
Things I have tried:
- Clean, rebuild, archive.
- Clean, close VS, delete bin/obj, re-open, rebuild, archive.
- Clean, reboot machine, delete bin/obj, re-open VS, rebuild archive.
- Revert to previous app code, #1-3.
- Give up, Google It, find nothing, ask Xamarin.
- Get impatient. Ask SO.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
