Bump Android X

[PureWeen]

Description of Change

Bump to latest Android X nugets

Pinned upper bounds of Android X Nugets we've tested against

Users have hit a lot of issues (#13843) upgrading to newer androidx packages that had incompatible APIs from previous versions, so to reduce our maintenance burden we're pinning the upper bounds. We'll continue to bump these up as we release SR's

For example, the latest fragment packages completely broke shell and the new material packages completely broke material

So the range just represents a tested/verified range of packages

If you need to force to higher versions you can modify your csproj file and add them explicitly

<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Forms" Version="5.0.0.2083" />
<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Core" Version="1.6.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.Lifecycle.LiveData" Version="2.3.1" />

Issues Resolved

• fixes android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Unable to find resource ID #0xffffffff #13843

Will this ever be merged? Android release builds are broken right now as linking fails.

"Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve AndroidX.Core.View.Accessibiity.AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat" <-- notice the misspelling.

#13969 was closed but it appears as this hasn't been merged yet so I don't think it's fixed.

Also, imagine new people starting to use XF and builds just won't work for them, wouldn't it make sense to merge this in soon and make a new release? I think that the ability to produce builds is an important feature.

Thank you.

Can we align this with the Community Toolkit & Xamarin.Essentials.

Why are the dependencies now restricted in Xamarin.Forms 5.0.0.2083?

The commit that introduced that says just “fix versioning”: fbb37d9

Maybe create a bug report for better visibility?
