Customers reported that the XA4211 warning message contains outdated property references and blank values for .NET 6+ projects:
The warning was written during the Xamarin.Android timeframe and needs updating for .NET 6+:
$(TargetFrameworkVersion)
should be$(TargetPlatformVersion)
for .NET 6+''
appears because the message references the wrong propertyChanges
Updated the XA4211 message in
Resources.resx
:$(TargetFrameworkVersion)
to$(TargetPlatformVersion)

The warning is reasonable to show, but the message text should be accurate for modern .NET Android projects.
Fixes #10196.
