Xamarin build fails

Harish KC 1

Hi,
I am trying build xamarin solution

MSBuild.exe "C:\SManager.sln" /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU"

Below error is thrown

\AssemblyInfo.cs(5,12): error CS0246: The type or namespace name '
NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hi, HarishKC-6011. This error is because a type or namespace that is used in the program was not found. You might have forgotten to reference the assembly that contains the type, or you might not have added the required using directive.

Which line cause the error? Could you please post the related code? And please open the Dependencies of the shared project to check if the Assemblies and Packages have a yellow warning triangle on it.

same code does work when I build in visual studio 2019.
Issue is when try to build solution in command prompt using msbuild.exe.

What I noticed is
In cmd when execute in below sequence it succeed

msbuild.exe /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU" /t:Clean App.sln
msbuild.exe /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU" /t:restore App.sln
msbuild.exe /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU" /t:Build App.sln

But when I execute below it fails again

msbuild.exe /p:Configuration="Release" /p:Platform="Any CPU" /t:restore;Build App.sln

Hi, @Harish KC
You can try use the following command to build your solution
"msbuild.exe yourProject.sln /restore /t:Build /p:Configuration="Release";RunCodeAnalysis=False;RestorePackagesConfig=true”
