Error in Xamarin and Android 12

Question

I have an application in Xamarin, that when trying to compile for Android 12, throws the following error:

java.lang.AssertionError: annotationType() : unrecognized Attribute name MODULE (class com.sun.tools.javac.util.SharedNameTable$NameImpl)

I tried the solution of this post, and it didn't work

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68344424/unrecognized-attribute-name-module-class-com-sun-tools-javac-util-sharednametab

java version:

openjdk version "11.0.14" 2022-01-18 LTS  
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Microsoft-30257 (build 11.0.14+9-LTS)  
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Microsoft-30257 (build 11.0.14+9-LTS, mixed mode)  

any idea what else it could be?

PS: sorry for my english

Answer 1

Hello,​

trying to compile for Android 12

Based your screenshot, your target framework is Android 11. Please re-select the Repository in the Android SDKs and Tools. Change the SDK Manager from Microsoft-managed repository to use Google's repository.

Then install Android 12 SDK Platform 31 in the Android SDKs and Tools, after that, you can select Android 12 S in your Compile Using Android version(Target Framework ).

If you want to change JDK 11 in Visual Studio, Please refer to this thread: Install JDK-11 and Configure Visual Studio to use JDK-11 step by step.

After above ways, please rebuild your application.

Best Regards,
