title: Visual studio 2019 Android - unexpected element <uses-permission> found in <manifest><application>
body: <p>I am getting this error when I hit build solution or build project in Visual Studio 2019 Android (Xamarin). What can I do to fix this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /&gt;
  &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expect it to build. Instead, I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
