System.Drawing.dll ERROR ????
USMember ✭✭
When building I'm receiving this error:
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Common.targets: Error: Exception while loading assemblies: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load assembly 'System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. Perhaps it doesn't exist in the Mono for Android profile?
File name: 'System.Drawing.dll'

That might be because there is no System.Drawing.Dll in Mono for Android.
Which also means that you are using a DLL that is compiled against the Windows API.
'System.Drawing' Assembly does not come with Mono for Android
I got this same error when trying to use a library called ITextSharp.
But I found a solution , there is a special version of library made for xamarin android in nugets you can find it.
Its called Xam.iTextSharpIGPL
So you can try using a different library
No need to dig up a 2 year old thread.
I get the same error trying to use Webview with local html base url
this is the error:
Exception while loading assemblies: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load assembly 'System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. Perhaps it doesn't exist in the Mono for Android profile?

Solved:
-> Close the solution
-> Delete all contents of the Packages folder (all the DLL's referenced through Nuget)
-> Restart the solution
-> Build (this will cause Nuget to get all DLL's again based on the packages.config)

Same problem
Your solution did not work
