I have converted a Xamarin Android App to a net6.0-android app. It compiles fine but when it starts linking, it acts like it is trying to link Android libraries instead of AndroidX libraries. The following is a snippet of the type of linking errors I am getting.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this?
Thanks, Jim
Update!
These are the packages I am using. If anyone sees a glaring red flag that they don't support AndroidX, please let me know.
<PackageReference Include="IdentityModel.OidcClient" Version="5.2.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AppCenter.Analytics" Version="5.0.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AppCenter.Crashes" Version="5.0.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AppCenter.Distribute" Version="5.0.1" />
<PackageReference Include="MvvmCross" Version="9.0.2" />
<PackageReference Include="SByteDev.Serilog.Sinks.AppCenter" Version="1.0.2" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Extensions.Logging" Version="3.1.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Serilog.Sinks.Xamarin" Version="1.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Browser" Version="1.4.0.3" />
It dawned on me that I was creating some of my own Nuget packages. It turns out that one of them targeted the old android libraries. It was actually an old version of MvvmCross which pulled them in Transitively. Once I updated my Nuget to use the new MvvmCross and used the new version of my package in my app, it started working fine. Thanks to all who helped point me in the right direction, especially those who pointed out that it was trying to reference android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.
