Xamarin iOS won't build. Sharing Violation on path for Asset Catalog file, Contents.json

I keep getting a MessagingRemoteException when trying to build my iOS project. I think I have corrupted my Assets folder but I am not sure how to fix it.

Full Error:

MessagingRemoteException: An error occurred on client Build161000021 while executing a reply for topic xvs/build/execute-task/{PROJECT NAME}/4f35102002fACTool
IOException: Sharing violation on path /Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/{PROJECT NAME}/4f351024d5a644fefb1596ca1894dae6596bde2c8a00c5aeffbfb23a447eea48/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/Contents.json

My Assets.xcassets folder contains a single AppIcon.appiconset folder. Inside, that folder, I have a Contents.json file, and a bunch of png images.

When I view the Asset Catalog in Visual Studio, I don't see any of my images.

I have cleaned my entire solution, manually deleted bin/obj folders, removed the project from the Cache folder on the Mac, and restarted everything.

Can anyone help?

This was caused by a bug in Visual Studio 16.10.0 Preview 1.0

I went back to 16.9.2, and everything worked immediately.

Visual Studio 16.10.2 version fixes this. I had the same issue. Some of these MS updates are big pains in a butt sometimes. They cannot just let this kind of critical issue happen all the time.. delaying the deployment and make developers frustrated..
