Hello,
I recently upgraded the Rebex.Sftp.Full library of my Xamarin Forms project to version 5.0.7244
When I want to compile the Android project with "Linking" option set to "Sdk Assembles Only", the linker raises this error:

Error       The "LinkAssemblies" task failed unexpectedly.
Mono.Linker.MarkException: Error processing method: 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1<System.Int32> wriw::wqyr.xxaz()' in assembly: 'Rebex.Networking.dll' ---> Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve Rebex.Net.Tls13.Tls13Channel/tngl

How to get rid of this error ?

As it is for release, I want to keep "Sdk Assembles Only" option active and use the linker.

Thank you in advance for your support

Greetings

Hello,
It's a Xamarin.Forms solution, here are the versions of all NuGet packages used in the Android's project :

    <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="MvvmLightLibsStd10">
        <Version>5.4.1.1</Version>
      </PackageReference>
      <PackageReference Include="Plugin.Permissions">
        <Version>3.0.0.12</Version>
      </PackageReference>
      <PackageReference Include="Rebex.Sftp.Full">
        <Version>5.0.7244</Version>
      </PackageReference>
      <PackageReference Include="sqlite-net-standard">
        <Version>1.5.1</Version>
      </PackageReference>
      <PackageReference Include="Vapolia.XamSvg.Forms">
        <Version>3.1.6</Version>
      </PackageReference>
      <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.Compat">
        <Version>28.0.0.3</Version>
      </PackageReference>
      <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Forms" Version="4.3.0.991211" />
      <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.Design" Version="28.0.0.3" />
      <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat" Version="28.0.0.3" />
      <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.v4" Version="28.0.0.3" />
      <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.CardView" Version="28.0.0.3" />
      <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.MediaRouter" Version="28.0.0.3" />
    </ItemGroup>

Xamarin Forms version is the last one (4.3.0.991211)

I compile the project with Android 9.0 (pie), minimum Android version is set to Android 5.1 (API Level 22 - Lollipop)
