Issues fixed
Application behavior on device and emulator
- GitHub 3263: Errors similar to "System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Android.Text.ITextWatcherInvoker' from assembly 'Mono.Android" would cause app execution to abort during calls to certain C# bindings for Android methods in apps built with the manager linker enabled.
Application and library build process
- GitHub 3343: Errors similar to "error: cannot access ListenableFuture ... class file for com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture not found" could cause the build to fail during the
_CompileJava
target when using certain libraries like Xamarin.Google.Guava.ListenableFuture that included an embedded .jar file and no public managed types.
Xamarin.Android SDK installation
- GitHub PR 3350: "Package contains system volume install location content" error would prevent successful installation of the Xamarin.Android SDK on the macOS Catalina preview.
