title: Xamarin : No resource found that matches the given names (AppCompat)
body: <p>I deployed a virtual machine on Azure. I've installed Visual Studio 2015, Xamarin and other mobile development tools.
  I did the same setup on my local computer to test my apps on my devices from Visual Studio</p>
  
  <p>The only difference is the installation of the Android SDK. On my local machine, I have no image system.</p>

  <p>I developed an application on my virtual machine. I have no error during compilation.
  I uses Android.Support.Design, Android.Support.V4, Android.Support.V7.AppCompat, Android.Support.V7.RecyclerView (latest releases from NuGet) and their MvvmCross implementation.</p>

  <p>I wanted to continue the development of the application on my local computer. NuGet the packages are properly restored.</p>
  
  <p>When I build app, I have some errors :</p>

  <p><strong>I tried</strong> </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>to change 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar' by '@android:styles/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar' and some others (android/styles)</li>
  <li>to change <code>target=android-19</code> to <code>target=android-21</code> in <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\project.properties</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Could someone explain to me what's the problem? I dropped. Same OS, same tools, same SDK, same JDK, </p>
