title: Android Manifest does not detect xml file
body: <p>I am developing app with Xamarin.Forms. I am using <a href="https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/MediaPlugin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Xam.Plugin.Media</a> to access my phone camera. As it is described in documentation, I am supposed to create new folder in Resources file and then add file provider configuration in my AndroidManifest file. For some reason, I get the error:</p>
  <p>failed processing manifest.
  resource xml/file_paths(aka com.companyname.client:xml/file_paths) not found.
  This error is likely caused by and issue with the AndroidManifest.xml or an Android manifest generation attribute in a source code file.</p>
  <p>I spent some time trying to find the issue but without any luck. My manifest looks like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
  &lt;manifest xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot; android:versionCode=&quot;1&quot; android:versionName=&quot;1.0&quot; package=&quot;com.companyname.client&quot; android:installLocation=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;
      &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=&quot;21&quot; android:targetSdkVersion=&quot;30&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;application android:label=&quot;Client.Android&quot; android:theme=&quot;@style/MainTheme&quot; android:icon=&quot;@mipmap/icon&quot;&gt;&lt;/application&gt;
      &lt;uses-permission android:name=&quot;android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;uses-permission android:name=&quot;android.permission.CAMERA&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;uses-permission android:name=&quot;android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;uses-permission android:name=&quot;android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE&quot; /&gt;
  
    &lt;application android:label=&quot;client&quot;&gt;
  
      &lt;provider android:name=&quot;android.support.v4.content.FileProvider&quot; android:authorities=&quot;com.companyname.client.fileprovider&quot;
      android:exported=&quot;false&quot; android:grantUriPermissions=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
        &lt;meta-data android:name=&quot;android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS&quot; android:resource=&quot;@xml/file_paths&quot;&gt;&lt;/meta-data&gt;
      &lt;/provider&gt;
    &lt;/application&gt;
  &lt;/manifest&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>The file is:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
  &lt;paths xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;&gt;
    &lt;external-files-path name=&quot;my_images&quot; path=&quot;Pictures&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;external-files-path name=&quot;my_movies&quot; path=&quot;Movies&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/paths&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>As I can see in solution explorer, file path is indeed Client.Android/Resources/xml/file_paths.xml</p>
