How to stabilize Android Resource.designer.cs file

Question

We are building a Xamarin forms app and every time any of the developers check in code it seems there are always changes being made to the Android Resources.designer.cs file. What is it that controls the automatic updates to that file? What do I need to stabilize in our dev environments across our developer machines to prevent that from aways getting different updates?

Answer 1

You can safely add the file to .gitignore , in Xamarin sample repo, they have the resource.designer file in gitignore too, https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/blob/master/.gitignore
