Chapter 1 - "ResolveLibraryProjectImports" on Xamarin.Forms v2.3.3.193

Hi, this is the output message (I will translate it to English, the first message only):

I've located this project in my C:. It makes no sense to me this error (and it's happening in similar projects).

Is there any workaround?

I think that you are trying to compile your code a complex path. Try to move your project somewhere closer to a drive letter like this: c:\xam\yourprj.

Experience similar problem too,
Error Unable to remove directory "obj\Debug\81\android\bin\classes". Could not find a part of the path 'AccessibilityManagerCompat_AccessibilityStateChangeListenerImplementor.class'. PlatformVisuals.Droid
Error The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. PlatformVisuals.Droid
Have tried to clean and rebuild with no luck. If it is a real file directory too long problem then it is something needs to be fixed.
