CS0117: 'Resource' does not contain a definition for

[inimirpaz]

Description

(probably a VS for Mac issue)

See repro (Platforms/Android/MainActivity.cs): when you try to access the Resources you do not get autocompletion, rather you get a fake CS0117 error. It seems the partial class generated by the designer is empty:

	#pragma warning disable IDE0002
	public partial class Resource : _Microsoft.Android.Resource.Designer.ResourceConstant {
	}
	#pragma warning restore IDE0002

I say "fake" because the error is ignored and the application is built successfully (the resource is also properly resolved).

Is this likely to be fixed for VS for Mac BEFORE the app's retirement
