.NET for Android warning XA0111

Issue

.NET for Android could not get the AAPT2 version via the command:

aapt2 -version

aapt2 did not return an expected value.

Solution

Check for any <Aapt2ToolPath> elements in the .csproj file and remove them. .NET for Android redistributes its own recommended version of AAPT2, so setting a custom value for the Aapt2ToolPath MSBuild property is generally not recommended. Alternatively, try re-installing the .NET for Android workload in Visual Studio.

AAPT is part of the Android SDK and is used internally by .NET for Android to process and compile resources into binary assets. Learn more about AAPT and Android resources from the Android documentation.

AAPT2 is version 2.0 of AAPT. Learn more about AAPT2 from the Android documentation.
