While deploying under release I get "LinkAssemblies failed" error - xamarin.forms

Just created a new project, Haven't touched anything yet except create some custom classes. Haven't touched the UI part, tried to deploy in release and I get this error:
The "LinkAssemblies" task failed unexpectedly.

I really don't know what I've done wrong I've tried changing the target and compile versions to the latest versions but still nothing. My Forms Nuget is Updated also.

This is a known bug.
Bug 48014 - blank xaml app (xamarin.forms portable) release build fails
The bug was fixed in an alpha release:
Jose Gallardo 2016-12-02 19:54:01 UTC
.../...
We're going to replace the old cross-platform templates with a new set of templates where this issue is fixed.
That new version will be out in the next XVS 4.3 preview (which will be available in the Alpha channel probably next week).
To add to my answer, there's other issues that may need to be addressed with that update.
Taken from Xamarin Android no longer builds release after Xamarin Update, John Miller:
Check that you have the following installed:
XVS 4.2.0.703
Android SDK Tools 25.2.2
Android Platform-tools 24.0.3
Android
Build-tools 24.0.3
Android support repository 38
Java 1.8 (8u101) 64 bit (Remove Java 1.7 if you have it, see more info
here:
https://developer.xamarin.com/releases/android/xamarin.android_7/xamarin.android_7.0/)
Make sure you have API 23 or 24 installed to compile the Android
project against.

Could not load file or assembly Newtonsoft.Json when running app from the dotnet publish output folder

I am finding a problem with Newtonsoft.Json library throwing a
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'. The system cannot find the file specified
when running an app as a Docker container and I'd like to know why this happens and why dependency management does not work smoothly.
I use .NET 5.
I have a library MyLibrary.A that explicitly uses Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1 for serializing and deserializing json.
I have a different library MyLibrary.B that wraps a MassTransit.AmazonSQS library. This MassTransit library also uses Newtonsoft.Json, but probably a different version.
If I don't do anything explicit, it seems the MassTransit dependency shows the Newtonsoft.Json 11.0.2. If at MyLibrary.B I explicitly add Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1, even though I don't explicitly use it, then MassTransit seems to be happy with using this newest Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1
Now, I have a web app MyApp that uses MyLibrary.A and MyLibrary.B. It works fine locally, but I use a CI/CD server to generate a Docker image.
Now I spin up this Docker image as a container locally (as a Docker Compose) and I get the error
Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'. The system cannot find the file specified.
It complains about a version that does not even exist. There is no 13.0.0.0, This library seems to go from 12.0.3 to 13.0.1.
I am now going through all my libraries and making sure they all use Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1 explicitly. And when I detect that some of them use some third party that relies on Newtonsoft.Json I add explicitly the very same version, so that I can get everywhere the 13.0.1 version.
UPDATE 1: My workaround didn't work. I don't know what else to try.
I have even added the Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1 explicitly to my webapp so I was hoping that at least at runtime it has it available.
Also, if I run my web up locally as a standard kestrel AspNetCore app (.NET 5) it launches properly. What is going on? Why is my docker container complaining about Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.0.0 not being found?
These are the traces when attempting to run as a Docker container

UPDATE 2: I decided to match MassTransit dependency Newtonsoft.Json 11.0.2 everywhere in my libraries.
The problem remains.
The error is now
Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'. The system cannot find the file specified.
I don't get it. All my dependencies of Newtonsoft.Json are now 11.0.2 and still it complains. I'll add this version explicitly (even though I don't directly need it) at the web app main assembly and see if it still complains about it.
UPDATE 3: Still same problem after adding Newtonsoft.Json 11.0.2 to all my libraries and after adding that very same dependency to my web app assembly as a dependency.
As per Chris' comment I have now a .dockerignore.

I don't know if the dotnet publish is messing something up for docker or whether there is some flaw in my process (it works fine for all other services). What might be the problem?
I can see Newtonsoft.Json.dll among the files produced by dotnet publish along with MassTransit.AmazonSqsTransport and all others that are supposedly being copied properly to the Docker image.
Also, If I open the .deps.json I can see all references to Newtonsoft.Json are 11.0.2, so no version conflict anymore (I think!).
I'm out of ideas.
UPDATE 4
I've just cleared all my local nuget packages (using Ubuntu)
dotnet nuget locals all --clear
Clearing NuGet HTTP cache: /home/diegosasw/.local/share/NuGet/v3-cache
Clearing NuGet global packages folder: /home/diegosasw/.nuget/packages/
Clearing NuGet Temp cache: /tmp/NuGetScratch
Clearing NuGet plugins cache: /home/diegosasw/.local/share/NuGet/plugins-cache
Local resources cleared.
An interesting thing is that when I restore dependencies after that on my project
dotnet restore
I can see at /home/diegosasw/.nuget/packages/newtonsoft.json
that there are versions 11.0.2 and 9.0.1
So I guess somewhere somehow a sub-dependency is using Newtonsoft 9.0.1, even though there is no trace of a Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.1 in my the *.deps.json that my dotnet publish produces, and I'm wondering whether this is related to my problem, maybe because that's the assembly being loaded and the 11 is being ignored?
UPDATE 5
I've just seen that the Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.1 is being used by some test project, because I can trace it at coverlet.collector.deps.json under coverlet.core 1.0.0 and the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyModel 2.1.0
I guess it's not the cause of my problem then.
Also I've verified with docker export $(docker ps -lq) -o foo.tar that the container has the Newtonsoft.Json.dll.
I would like to understand why is this happening and learn how to better troubleshoot these kind of things.
UPDATE 6 (4 Oct)
I don't think the problem is with Docker. I think the problem is likely with dotnet publish or something I'm missing or doing wrong.
I have left Docker outside since I didn't see anything wrong there.
I tried to simply do a
dotnet publish -c Release -o publish
and execute the app in that
publish folder with dotnet MyCompany.ItgService.dll to reproduce the exception.
But before publishing, when I run the application with a
dotnet run -c Release --project src/Rubiko.ItgService
I don't get that exception.
See https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/21716 for full details, traces, tree structure, etc.
Summary
The questions are:
Why dotnet publish does not seem to produce everything my app needs to run?
Why does it complain at runtime about an assembly that is there?
$ ls publish/ | grep Newtonsoft
Newtonsoft.Json.Bson.dll*
Newtonsoft.Json.dll*
FINAL UPDATE: Problem solved. See my own response where info on how to properly troubleshoot these kind of issues and how I solved it by ensuring my test projects (that use different version of the library) don't publish artifacts and overwrite the desired dependency assembly.
I solved the mystery. It had nothing to do with Docker. It kind of had something to do with dotnet publish but the SDK works well.
The problem was, as initially suspected, with a version conflict. When publishing with dotnet publish -c Release -o publish I could see the Newtonsoft.Json.dll there. But the following made me suspicious
ls publish/ -al | grep Newtonsoft
-rwxrw-r-- 1 diegosasw 89K mar 22 2017 Newtonsoft.Json.Bson.dll*
-rwxrw-r-- 1 diegosasw 641K mar 24 2018 Newtonsoft.Json.dll*
2018 seems a bit old for that version. What if.. that Newtonsoft.Json assembly being published wasn't the version 11.0.2 after all?
I updated all my libraries to match MassTransit dependency on Newtonsoft 11.0.2 but my findings on Update 4 made me think there was some other project depending indirectly on Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.1, and that's why I could see that nuget package being cached locally.
If, somehow, the assembly being published is not the expected Newtonsoft.Json 11.0.2 but the Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.1, the error would make sense when complaining about not finding the assembly Newtonsoft.Json 11.0.2
Bingo!

Now the assembly published is the expected 11.0.2.
I verify that running my app from the publish folder now works fine!
cd publish
dotnet MyCompany.ItgService.dll
Just use the version that MassTransit depends upon, which is much earlier than v13. Upgrading past that without the proper assembly redirects is likely causing your issue.
I had a very similar problem with the Newtonsoft package in my .NET core 3.1 web application (not using docker). Neither in my main project (web app) nor in the class library (implemented for sending emails) I explicitly referenced Newtonsoft.Json.dll. Running locally on my machine a dotnet publish created the web app correctly with Newtonsoft.Json.dll (v11.0.2). This is the correct dll, I have checked it in the *.deps.json.
Same command on my windows server which I use for the build step in my deplyoment pipeline created a different Newtonsoft.Json.dll (v9.0.1). With this one my web app did not run correctly (same error like you).
What worked for me: I deleted the folder C:\Program Files\dotnet manually. Then I reinstalled the latest .NET SDK x64 on my build server. And BOOM, correct Newtonsoft.Json.dll (v11.0.2) was published. Before that I deinstalled an old Visual Studio 2019 instance and installed a fresh Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise IDE. Apparently, this does not replace the dotnet folder and has no effect. So my conclusion is that the dotnet.exe was buggy I had installed on my server and did not restore correctly the nuget package for Newtonsoft.

Xamarin Forms Release Problem: Mono.Linker.MarkException: Error processing method: 'System.String Microsoft.Net.Http.Headers.DateTimeFormatter

Trevor answer worked for me, but there is alternative solution.
I've noticed that this missing class Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.DateTimeFormatter was removed from Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives dll in version 4.0. Some of dependencies to my project required version >=3.2 and some >=5.0. I guess linker chosen to link higher 5.0 version so the other dependency failed to find removed class.
Solution is to update all dependencies so their dependencies uses versions of Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives >=5.0
Turning linking off is the lazy answer. The point of using the linker is to remove "dead" code and minimize the size of the program. The size of a mobile app is more important to many users.
The linker used in Xamarin.Android is going to remove code it thinks you are not using. This is especially true when using reflection. To fix this you would need to tell the compiler you're using the type.
A popular solution is to use a LinkerPleaseInclude.cs file and make stub methods using the type and properties so the compiler thinks you're using them. You will find many examples on the Internet.
public class LinkerPleaseInclude
{
public void KeepInplaceStringBuilder(Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.InplaceStringBuilder x)
{
x.Append('x'); // This will keep the InplaceStringBuilder.Append method from being linked out...
}
}
A newer solution is to use a Custom Linker Configuration XML file. This is a bit less of a "hack" than the LinkerPleaseInclude.cs solution, but more verbose. It allows you to preserve the whole type, specific methods, properties, etc.
<linker>
<assembly fullname="Microsoft.Net.Http.Headers">
<type fullname="Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.InplaceStringBuilder">
</assembly>
</linker>
Either solution will work. Just keep doing this for each of the types the linker complains about and it will eventually work.

Interestingly the application works perfectly fine in one of the very similar machine with identical set up and same set of framework installed. I'm not sure what is causing this Raven to fail. Any pointers is highly appreciated.
Looks like System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe is not installed correctly.
Try:
1. Installing and using the latest RavenDB client package -OR-
2. Try to manually install from
https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe/
Install-Package System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe -Version 4.5.2
After fiddling around for more than day. I was able to reproduce the issue on my local machine with following setup:
No DOTNET Core SDK installed
Installed .NET Core Hosting and Runtime for .NET Core 2.1.3 and .NET Core 2.2.0
If I ALSO had .NET Core 2.1.6 Hosting and Runtime installed on my machine (with or without 2.1.3) the issue disappeared.
That made me to believe that .NET Core 2.1.6 installation on affected environment was somehow corrupt. So I uninstalled and reinstalled .NET Core 2.1.6 Hosting and Runtime, and this magically fixed issue.
However, this has now made our IT a bit nervous and jittery as they now feel Hosting and Runtimes cannot be trusted anymore. You literally are shooting in dark in such issues are encountered.

ASP.NET Web API error after upgrading to Visual Studio 2012 RC: Method not found: 'Void System.Net.Http.Headers.HttpHeaders.AddWithoutValidation

Anyone knows how to fix this?
You have a reference to an old version of System.Net.Http in your project. To fix this, go under "References" in your project, delete System.Net.Http, and add the version that comes with .NET 4.5 instead. That should do it.

Solution to this and other RC-related issues right here.
step 1
Remove the below references from your project:
System.Net.Http, System.Web.Http, System.Web.Http.WebHost , System.Web.Http.Common & System.Net.Http.Formatting
step 2
Add the above refefrences (except the System.Web.Http.Common & System.Net.Http.Formatting) from Below location
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Packages\Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core.4.0.20505.0\lib\net40
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Packages\Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost.4.0.20505.0\lib\net40
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Packages\Microsoft.Net.Http.2.0.20505.0\lib\net40
and add one more new dll Newtonsoft.Json.dll from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Packages\Newtonsoft.Json.4.5.1\lib\net40
This fixed it for me.

Method not found: 'Void System.Net.Http.Headers.HttpHeaders.AddWithoutValidation(System.String, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1)'.
I resolved it with the following steps. Not sure if all of them are required, but it worked.
In NuGet Package Manager, uninstalled the Web.API Beta package.
Added references to System.Net.Http, System.Web.Http, & System.Web.Http.WebHost (these were removed by the previous step).
Installed Json.Net via NuGet.
As an addition, if your project is targeting the 4.0 version of the framework, you must include the new Microsoft ASP.Net Web API set of packages from NUGET, to get a green light for your build. Json.Net is a dependency for these new packages, so you need not install it separate.

Trying to integrate PayPal checkout express, using classes\dll provided by PayPal, getting: Could not load file or assembly 'log4net

Using .Net framework 4. I am assuming this log4net version that the PayPal library is dependent on
requires an older version or I don't have the file at all? Do I need to get this file somewhere or
is there another work around ?
Update, after installing latest version of log4net I now get the same error except the file is found
this time and says**:

Log4net is a separate open-source project.
You can get it from within Visual Studio using NuGet, or you can download it from Apache's website.
This question is a little old, but wanted to let you know, I was having the same issue, and found the proper library for this issue. You'll want to go to the Beta 8 archive for the sourceforge project here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/log4net/files/log4net/1.2.0%20Beta8/
Download this repository, and look in log4net-1.2.0-beta8\log4net-1.2.0-beta8\bin\net\1.0\release, the log4net.dll has the version 1.2.0.30714
Even if you don't use this, someone else might run into this question, and hopefully this response will help fix the issue for anyone else.
