    🛠 Issues fixed in Xamarin.Android 10.3.1.4

    🚀 Application and library build and deployment

    • Developer Community 955972 Starting in Xamarin.Android 10.3, error APT2258: not well-formed (invalid token) prevented using accented characters or other non-ASCII UTF-8 characters in Android layout files that also contained custom views.
    • Developer Community 955972 Starting in Xamarin.Android 10.3, errors similar to error XARLC7000: System.Xml.XmlException: Invalid character in the given encoding could prevent successful builds for certain project configurations, such as projects located in directory paths that contained accented characters or other non-ASCII UTF-8 characters.

    Application behavior on device and emulator

    • Developer Community 1021788: GitHub 4727: Starting in Xamarin.Android 10.3, many typemap: unable to find mapping to a Java type from managed type messages were logged to the application output for running apps, in some cases causing Visual Studio to become unresponsive until the output window caught up.
    • Developer Community 1030901, GitHub 4664: Starting in Xamarin.Android 10.3, localized resources from .resx files were no longer deployed when building and deploying from within Visual Studio to an attached device or emulator. (In contrast, clean builds started on the command line worked as expected.)

    For special scenarios where project authors require Xamarin.Android SDK version 10.3.1.4 without any subsequent 10.3 servicing fixes, the fixed-version Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6.1 BuildTools installer can be used on Windows and the fixed-version .pkg installer package can be used on macOS. The fixed-version .vsix installer package is another alternative for Windows.
