java.exe" exited with code 1 after updating VS 2019 no code changes

Question

Hi All

I updated VS 2019 to 16.9.3 and then updated an xamarin.android project(already published ), plus its nugets.

I made no changes to the code, cleaned the bins, then build

Now I cannot build . The top of the error stack is

Error "java.exe" exited with code 1. dateandtimetools

Warning ItemGroup XamarinBuildDownloadRestoreAssemblyAar is no longer supported. If your build is failing, revert to an older Xamarin.Build.Download version, or migrate your packages to use the new XamarinBuildDownloadAndroidAarLibrary ItemGroup. If your build is succeeding it is safe to ignore this warning.

Any thoughts

Cheers

Ola

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Hi, OladotunO. Do you reference the Xamarin.Build.Download nuget in you project? What the version of package do you install in the project? Someone faced the similar issue and downgrading the version solve the problem. You could the solution in your project.

Here the case link, you could refer to: https://github.com/xamarin/XamarinComponents/issues/784
