Description
If you try to bind a class that inherits android.app.IntentService with class-parse you get the following error:
Error while processing type '[Class] com.microsoft.intune.mam.client.app.MAMIntentService':
Type 'android.app.IntentService' was not found.
This is because we have used metadata to move android.app.IntentService to mono.android.app.IntentService. https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/blob/51f56aacd9946231672f8c173e265bfe68cb52da/src/Mono.Android/metadata#L570-L583
When class-parse attempts to resolve the android.app.IntentService type it cannot be found.
This works with jar2xml because it resolves Java types using the Java jars, where the type is correct. By contrast, class-parse resolves Java types using the [Register] attribute in the C# assemblies which has the "moved" type name.
It is likely that we cannot "undo" this move now without breaking back-compatibility. Likely we are going to have to add a hack to generator to know this type was moved and we need to update references to it.
