  • What control do you add in activity_main.axml? Do you want to use fonts in your project? – Cherry Bu - MSFT Apr 12 '21 at 05:47
  • Thanks for your comment. I didn't add no control and about fonts I noticed that fonts folder doesn't excite in android-30 folder and I have this problem even with new project the designer won't work – user15599613 Apr 12 '21 at 18:14
  • What is the version of your visual studio? Do you try to repair or update your visual studio? – Cherry Bu - MSFT Apr 15 '21 at 06:40

I encountered the same issue as you from a fresh install of all my development environment. I have just tried with the new 2021.1.2 update and it seems the issue is now fixed.
