- Currently there is an issue where an AAR file is updated, but the Android Binding library does not regenerate the bindings. I believe this is caused by the incorrect logic of checking if the file exists before trying to copy. We should not check if the file exists, but instead let the new file be copied over if it is indeed newer. - This logic may be incorrect in other places in the file. However, I'm not confident enough to make that call.

Fixes: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=56867 It turns out that having a *package* definition in the pkgdef without a corresponding Package entry in the same file, makes it impossible for VS to find the associated resources with the given IDs (#400 for the icon, #110 and #112 for the name and description). It also turns out that even if were to do without the icon, using plain strings for #110/112 doesn't work either, and the package entry has to be there anyway, alongside the assembly and code base. Therefore, just add it to the VSIX payload so that VS can use it to locate those resources for Help/About and nothing else. Since we still tell the VSSDK targets *not* to create the PKGDEF from the Package-derived class, this should still mean it's a plain IL compilation for xbuild/MacOSX and hopefully it won't break anything. NOTE: the AssemblyName has to match what's in the PKGDEF, so we made it match with the official one too. Since this assembly name isn't used for anything at run-time, it's fine to leave it as-is with no changes. The new gazillion packages/references are needed just so the AndroidSdkPackage class can inherit from Package as expected by VS.

the Android Binding library does not regenerate the bindings.
I believe this is caused while copying over the AAR file contents
to the library_project_imports directory. Currently, the logic is to
only attempt a copy if the file doesn't exist. However, I think the
correct logic should be to copy if the file has changed.
of my .AAR file, will be correctly copied to the library_project_imports
and the library_project_jars, and can be used to update the generated
bindings.
