Migrated AndroidX project build error with XF5

Question

We have updated a solution that includes Android, iOS and UWP, to Android X using the migration tool.
This builds and appears to be working fine, and the app has passed regression testing.

We have now updated the solution to Xamarin Forms 5. We now have 1 specific project that fails to build, it is throwing the following error:
'textEnd' is incompatible with attribute iconGravity (attr) flags [start=1, textStart=2] [weak].

I wanted to try to create a new AndroidX project and copy the .cs files across, but I don't see a way of doing that in VS 2019?

Any pointers or suggestions are welcome!

Thanks
John

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

First, Please open your project, delete all of bin and obj folders. then rebuild your project, if it works.

If not, please make sure you have install latest Xamarin.Forms nuget package 5.0.0.2012.

Then Enable the feature:

Then run it on the Android project

And I find a known issue about this error, here are some solutions in this link, you can refer to it.
