Solution

  • You can try deleting the contents of the following folder (or the folder relating to the Xamarin.Android.Support library in question):

    ~/.local/share/Xamarin/Xamarin.Android.Support.v4/23.1.1.0

    Clean and rebuild.

    If that doesn't work try the following:

    Download the zip file mentioned in the error - in this case:

    https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/android_m2repository_r25.zip

    Rename the zip file to the hash of the zip - in this case:

    0B3F1796C97C707339FB13AE8507AF50.zip

    Place the new zip file into the following folder:

    ~/.local/share/Xamarin/zips

    Clean and rebuild.
