What is the difference between XML and AXML in Xamarin.Android Apps?
Since VS2019, I have noticed that every new project has regular XML as its resources like native Android Studio applications, but previously (2015 or 2017) it created AXML files.
Internally, the files look exactly the same.
UPDATE
Removed all mention of "linking" problems.
Those are not related to the change in file extension. See other Q&As for answers to those.
