Our release build no longer worked after upgrading to Xamarin Android 4.8.0 because the "LinkAssemblies" task failed with a System.UnauthorizedAccessException to an .mdb file. In debugging this issue, the problem is that the CopyMdbFiles task is now added to Xamarin.Android.Common.targets. In our case, we have a precompiled component with its corresponding .mdb file checked into TFS. It is marked as read-only and I'm guessing Xamarin Android tries to copy this file multiple times, the second and subsequent attempts of which fail to overwrite the file. My question is what are these .mdb files? Can I simply remove the CopyMdbFiles task from the targets file without side effects since they weren't being copied in Xamarin.Android 4.6.8?
