I'm currently getting the following error and stacktrace when attempting to run UI Tests locally against my Xamarin.Android project. This error doesn't occur on every run, but its pretty frequent. A clean and rebuild will usually "fix" it, but when trying to run all tests is the suite this is a really annoying error.
I'm not really sure where to proceed from here. Any direction on where to look for debugging this error, or if anyone know what causes the error, would be greatly appreciated.
