Linker configured for Sdk Assemblies Only in Android build options
I can’t share code because it’s a customer app, sorry.
Information: Visual Studio 2019 - v16.1.5 FFImageLoading (all 5 nugets) - v2.4.11.982 Xamarin.Forms - v3.6.0.344457
Thank you.

Problem solved.
I was compiling with Xamarin.Android 9.0 on AppCenter and the version must be Xamarin.Android 9.2
Thank you.
@hugodantas Experiencing a similar issue and your comments gave me an aha moment in the right direction. For me it was just a matter of updating the AppCenter Crash and Analytics packages. Thanks for sharing!
