VSTS Build Definition for Android failing

Question

I'm starting using the build definitions from Team Services for a Xamarin Android App. In Visual Studio everything works fine and I can check in the code to VS Team Services.

UPDATE 1

Now, at the moment to create an Build Definitions for my project, it's falling.

And this is part of the log:

After, a couple of days trying to find any information I found the following stackoverflow links:

1. Visual Studio Team Services - Build fails, definition wrong?
2. TFS remains out of sync after Get Sources step

Basically, in those post they mention that this could be a security related issue.

I tried following all suggestion from changing the permissions to changing some parameters like the Build job authorization scope. But any luck so far :-(

UPDATE 2

After a lot of attempts and looking on Internet, I found that te problem was the hosted agent had a different version for Xamarin.Froms. Then I found this post http://www.blogaboutxamarin.com/xamarin-devops-with-vsts-setup-a-cross-platform-build-agent-on-windows/ where I created a on-premise agent and the Xamarin.Forms version got updated to be 6.1.1. After that I was able to queue a build ALL in Green :-)

However, I decided to upgrade the Xamarin.Forms version to be 2.3.1.114 in my Solution, because I needed to use a class that is available in that version. Locally, it builds and run OK.

Now, the problem is again the agent build in VSTS. This time is showing me a different error. That there are some dlls that couldn't be found:

obj\\Release\\android\\src\\mono\\android\\support\\v7\\internal\\widget\\ActivityChooserModel_OnChooseActivityListenerImplementor.java:8: error: package android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActivityChooserModel does not exist obj\\Release\\android\\src\\mono\\android\\support\\v7\\internal\\widget\\ActivityChooserModel_OnChooseActivityListenerImplementor.java:33: error: package android.support.v7.internal.widget does not exist 2016-10-17T02:26:08.1053649Z private native boolean n_onChooseActivity (android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActivityChooserModel p0, android.content.Intent p1);

In my Android project I have:

Finally, this is the link of the GitHub repo where you can find the code: https://github.com/Lesthad/CIXamarinShowTest

Any help would be very appreciate. Thanks and sorry for this long post :-(

解决方案是您需要在构建定义的Xamarin.Android步骤中指定JDK版本。
