How to solve Xamarin Forms API deprecated Error 410

Question

VS2017 shows this error when I'm trying to upload my apk:

This API has been deprecated and is no longer available

Any idea what cause and how to solve this error?

Xamarin 4.12.3

The issue happens in vs2019 also and I think it is being caused by this message in the Google Play Console

ACTION REQUIRED: Your automated publishing to Google Play will stop working on December 1, 2019 Your app is using an old version of the Google Play Developer API. From December 1 2019, versions 1 and 2 of this API will no longer be available, and any calls to these versions will fail. Update to version 3 before this date. Learn more

I am not sure how to fix this yet but if you need to get a release out you can manually grab the apk and upload it to the google play console.

Archive Manager > click on the desired apk > click open folder > grab apk file from the "signed-apks" folder

you can then go to the google play console and create a release and manually upload the apk file along with your newly created release.

I know this is not the fix I just figured I would through it out there in case it can help anyone.

Same Error Message in 2019
