Hi,

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I upgraded to the latest version for a Xamarin.Android app,

I made no additional changes to the app. But just ran it.

It builds without error, but when I try to run it on the device, I get the following error:

The "LocateBuildToolsConfigTask" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin" directory.

Because I did not implement a task class with ITask interface, I looked for as pointed out in item 3

But it is not there in the two versions of Microsoft.Common.tasks in the folder

Expected Behavior

Mobile app must run on phone without issue as before with the old version of BuildTools

Actual Behavior

It fails with error above
