Answer 1

Deleting the Bin and Obj folders also worked for me.

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I managed to solve it. Try removing the Support.v7 NuGet Packages and installing them again. Make sure to install the correct package versions as you do it. Good luck!

Answer 3

I encountered the same issue. The only way I could get around it was to uncheck "Enable Multi-Dex" in Android Options. I think something might be broke in the latest version of visual studio 2017.

Answer 4

I finally found that the solution for me, was to uninstall all the Xamarin.Android NuGet Packages from my solution, and then reinstall them.

In addition to the other answers I'd like to add that deleting all the bin and obj folders from my project worked for me.
