Xamarin.Android builds suddenly unable to run because of missing requirements on the agent

See original GitHub issue

My nightly builds have been working great for weeks, and then suddenly last night my Android builds started failing to run:

No agent could be found with the following capabilities: AndroidSDK, MSBuild, Xamarin.Android

What got committed within the last 48 hours that would start breaking Android builds???

Nothing has changed on my build agent machine in recent history.

@DavidStaheli, a colleague helped me get it resolved.

@yacaovsnc, this is a beefy dedicated MacInCloud server instance. The third column, here: http://www.macincloud.com/pricing/compare

@madhurig, I had to manually add the Xamarin.Android capability to each of my eight agent instances by entering the key Xamarin.Android and the value .

The issue cropped up overnight. Nothing had changed in my server’s environment during the previous week.

@jsauvexamarin: Looks like Xamarin.Android capability is broken with 104 version of agent with latest Xamarin, the fix is included in 105 and higher version of the agent: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-agent/commit/b21004ba2a966adfec1bc174cbef232a0bdf4874
