Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Just create blank Xamarin.Forms app from wizard and build it. After building Android App there is a message:

No way to resolve conflict between "mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" and "mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e". Choosing "mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" arbitrarily.

Research direction
Investigate the assembly binding conflict between mscorlib versions 4.0.0.0 and 2.0.5.0. Check NuGet package versions and project references for mismatched dependencies. Consider adding assembly binding redirects in the app.config or using the <dependentAssembly> element.
