Unable to build solution using Visual Studio 2019 Xamarin

Question

Hi,

I am new Xamarin. I am facing a problem while build the solution.
Following error is showing while building the project.

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error The "ResolveAssemblyReference" task failed unexpectedly.
System.Security.SecurityException: Invalid assembly public key. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141E)

The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
MyComputer TestProject.Android

But in another project I am not getting this error and it builds successfully.

Requesting how to overcome this situation.
