Initially a clean build for me using VS 2019 16.8 was:

> git clean -dxf
> msbuild .\Xappy\Xappy.Android\Xappy.Android.csproj -r -bl
Time Elapsed 00:00:30.43

I noticed that <R8/> was running, so I removed the multi-dex setting. This got it down to:

Time Elapsed 00:00:27.05

Next, I noticed that AndroidX.Migration was running and doing work:

CecilfyFiles = 1.680 s

We could also remove the Resources\layout\Tabbar.axml and Toolbar.axml files, as the latest Xamarin.Forms does not use them. They were using android.support.design.widget.TabLayout and android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar.

This got the initial build down to:

Time Elapsed 00:00:21.22
