MSBuild vs XBuild Android build fails on XBuild

AidenStrydom · March 2016

Hi all.

I have an Android project which, when compiled from the command line, on Windows, under msBuild, compiles and produces an apk successfully.
However when I try compiling the same project on a Mac, under xbuild i get the following:

mobileapps:~ build$ xbuild /p:Configuration=Release /property:DefineConstants="MOCK_SERVICES,DEBUG,SIT1" /verbosity:normal /t:SignAndroidPackage "/Users/build/Desktop/SBG.NBOL.Core/SBG.NBOL.Tablet.Droid/SBG.NBOL.Tablet.Droid.csproj"
