I'm trying to get Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8 and using Xamarin. My android sdk is installed and identified in Visual Studio 2012. Xamarin account is verified. I have administrator privileges on the PC.
When I try to build the generic Android Application (Hello World) that comes as a default template I get the following error:
Access to the path 'resources.apk.bk' is denied.
When I rebuild I get the above error plus
The directory is not empty.
I've search around for this a lot. I'm going to post to stackOverflow but thought you might be able to help.
In addition I get the following warnings: Could not find schema information for the element 'manifest'. Could not find schema information for the element 'uses-sdk'. Could not find schema information for the element 'application'.
Trying to build good projects from my colleagues yield similar results.
More verbose listing of build is as follows: 1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: AndroidApplication3, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(765,2): error : Access to the path 'resources.apk.bk' is denied. 1> AndroidApplication3 -> c:\users\erin\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\AndroidApplication3\AndroidApplication3\bin\Debug\AndroidApplication3.dll 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(1094,3): error : The directory is not empty. 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(1094,3): error : ========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
