Xamarin Publishing Failed Signing Failed Android APK

I want to generate an APK for the Android version of my app. I never had a problem doing it on Visual Studio for Mac, but this week started not working anymore.

I get this error after I type my keystore password:

Signing Failed

Could not load file or assembly 'Ionic.zip, Version=1.9.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

enter image description here

It happens even when I try to resign an older archive that I signed before with the same keystore, but it succeeds when I keep the old signature.

Publishing iOS IPAs works normally.

Anyone has an idea of how to correct it?

Use the Help -> Report a Problem feature in the IDE to report this issue. - Jon Douglas
Already did it, waiting for an answer there and maybe a workaround here. - Bruno Serrano
I would recommend using the target and property /t:SignAndroidPackage /p:Configuration=Release in MSBuild for now. - Jon Douglas
I generated my signed APK successfully using MSBuild, thank you! - Bruno Serrano

Meanwhile Microsoft and Xamarin team check my report, I could generate my signed APK using MSBuild in Terminal, thanks to @JonDouglas comment.

In the Droid folder of my project, I ran it in Terminal:

MSBuild "/t:SignAndroidPackage" "/p:Configuration=Release" "/p:AndroidKeyStore=true" "/p:AndroidSigningKeyAlias=YourKeyAlias" "/p:AndroidSigningKeyPass=YourKeyStorePassword" "/p:AndroidSigningKeyStore=YourKeyStoreFilename" "/p:AndroidSigningStorePass=YourKeyStorePassword" "YourAppName.csproj"
