See original GitHub issue

Description

After updating from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4 or 2.5-preview, on building a Xamarin.Forms (v3.3.0.967583) project for Android, the linker throws an exception.

Expected Behavior

It should just build fine, like in version 2.4.3.

Actual Behavior

Error The "LinkAssemblies" task failed unexpectedly.
