    You did not give much info on the errors here

    CA 1709 Identifiers should be cased correctly
    CA1020 Avoid namespaces with few types
    CA2219 Assemblies should have strong names
    CA2146 Types must be at least as critical as their base types and interfaces

    Hi neerajgoel,
    Please try to follow these steps:

    1. Close all processes of visual studio
    2. Go to C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Xamarin
    3. Delete all contents in this directory
    4. Start visual studio
    5. Clean and build your project

    Best Regards, Dylan
