Did you do some google research for "MSB6006 exited with code -1073741819"? – Tomáš Knopp
Yes I did. I got solution just once. But I found again that problem and the last solution isn't working. – Arsal
@Arsal You can swap channel using this tutorial: developer.xamarin.com/recipes/cross-platform/ide/… – matthewrdev
I think this is the issue with the latest beta Xamarin.Android. It manifests when 3rd party assemblies are referenced (possible when those are based on jars). Bugzilled issue 24409 [bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24488] – Miha Markic
After Xamarin Updating through Beta swapping I am able to get rid of that bloody Error :) THANK you Guys – Arsal

Adding TechNote link - Remove SDK 24 using the Android SDK Manager is the solution as noted by @ali. Technote on this exact issue here - https://releases.xamarin.com/technical-bulletin-android-sdk-build-tools-24/ . Totally removing "24" from my machine cleared it. Just changing targets did not.

Ok this line is my problem:

I:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\24.0.0-preview\aapt.exe

go to your your android build-tools installed path and check your build-tools versions, you can update build-tools from Android SDK Manager or remove version if has error, i have build-tools 23.0.1 and 23.0.2 and 24.0.0-preview (default build version is latest 24.0.0-preview) i removed 24.0.0-preview folder and rebuild my project and it's works.
