Hello again,
Finally I am finished with developement of my Xamarin.Forms application so I started deploying an apk. Of course I tried to add Link SDK Assemblies only, because otherwise the apk would be 50mb big, and nobody will download such a great application.
The exact failure output is:
Fehler Unerwarteter Fehler bei der LinkAssemblies-Aufgabe.
Xamarin.Android.XamarinAndroidException: error XA2006: Reference to metadata item 'Android.Support.V4.App.NotificationCompat/BuilderExtender' (defined in 'Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null') from 'Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' could not be resolved. ---> Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve Android.Support.V4.App.NotificationCompat/BuilderExtender

I am using Xamarin.Android 6.0 and I think my NUGET packages cause this error.
I am using Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat with version 23.0.1.1 and Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.MediaRouter with version 23.0.1.1. Of course I tried to update these packages to the newest version, but this was not helpful.
For Xamarin.Android.Support.v4 I used version 23.0.1.1 and I am using Xamarin.forms 1.5.0.6447, I tried to update these packages too, but it still caused the same error.
Since my project will be finished in a few weeks I really have to make the application smaller.
I tried to skip the Xamarin.Android.Support packages too, but this was not helpfull too.
I would be happy if anybody can help me with that problem.
