[Bug] Archiving in VS 2022 failing

[DavidStrachanLexacom]

Description

*** I have raised an issue with both Xamarin.Forms and Log4net as ambiguity where the issue lies***

Log4net 2.0.15
Xamarin.Forms 5.0.0.2622
Android 14.0 (34)
VS 2022 17.8.4

This seems to only occur since updating to Android 14.0.

When archiving (Release deployment to physical device is fine) the project The following error is thrown:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Details Error Mono.Linker.OutputException: Failed to write 'Xamarin.Android.Project\obj\Release\130\android\assets\log4net.dll ---> System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'Xamarin.Android.Project\obj\Release\130\android\assets\log4net.dll' because it is being used by another process. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath, Boolean checkHost) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share) at Mono.Cecil.ModuleDefinition.Write(String fileName, WriterParameters parameters) in /Users/builder/jenkins/workspace/archive-mono/2020-02/android/release/external/cecil/Mono.Cecil/ModuleDefinition.cs:line 1160 at Mono.Linker.Steps.OutputStep.WriteAssembly(AssemblyDefinition assembly, String directory, WriterParameters writerParameters) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Mono.Linker.Steps.OutputStep.WriteAssembly(AssemblyDefinition assembly, String directory, WriterParameters writerParameters) at Mono.Linker.Steps.OutputStep.OutputAssembly(AssemblyDefinition assembly) at Mono.Linker.Steps.BaseStep.Process(LinkContext context) at Mono.Linker.Pipeline.ProcessStep(LinkContext context, IStep step) at Mono.Linker.Pipeline.Process(LinkContext context) at MonoDroid.Tuner.Linker.Process(LinkerOptions options, ILogger logger, LinkContext& context) at Xamarin.Android.Tasks.LinkAssemblies.Execute(DirectoryAssemblyResolver res) at Xamarin.Android.Tasks.LinkAssemblies.RunTask() at Microsoft.Android.Build.Tasks.AndroidTask.Execute() in /Users/runner/work/1/s/xamarin-android/external/xamarin-android-tools/src/Microsoft.Android.Build.BaseTasks/AndroidTask.cs:line 17 Company.Code_name.Xamarin.Android

Same problem for me

[jfversluis]

Looks like something that has happened before: dotnet/android#4647

This originates either in Visual Studio or Xamarin.Android. The linked issue has a lot of guidance on how to gather relevant data here to get it resolved and where to report it. This is not relevant to Xamarin.Forms, so closing this here.
