Xamarin.Droid Package creation failed

I chose Build -> Archive for publishing

and I am getting the following error

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(2,2): Error: Could not load assembly ‘myapp, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken='. Perhaps it doesn't exist in the Mono for Android profile? (myapp.Droid)

It was working earlier but now not anymore

Are you able to build normally? If it fails, can you provide a full diagnostic build output? - Jon Douglas
I have this problem too, I can build both debug and release but on Archive for publishing it fails. I am also using Visual Studio for Mac - AndreasReiff
Let me know if you found the solution - Rajan M
Have you updated the Xamarin.Forms package? - AndreasReiff

I had the exact same scenario, the project used to archive but doesn't any longer, same OS, debug is also perfectly fine.

I found that I only had armeabi-v7a ticked, after ticking x86 it seemed to work.

Delete obj & bin files in all platforms

Rebuild your solution in Debug mode.

Step4:

Now put release mode then try maybe it will work for you

You have to use the Release|AnyCPU when building the project instead of Release|ARM. That worked for me.
