Hi, am tagging this as a question, since I dont think this is your bug....

I had some problems binding the latest version, specifically when using produced binding library in a Maui application, I get this compile time error:

res/values/values.xml(2): error APT2000: multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format; did you mean to add the formatted="false" attribute?

This line seems to be causing the problem:

<string name="dfu_status_uploading_part">Uploading part %d/%d&#8230;</string>

I tried introducing positional format like "Uploading part %1$d/%2$d", but that didnt help. When I just used "Uploading part %d", it worked...

I see you removed the formatted=false on October 2 in commit 4a5c18d (I assume since formatted=false would not interpolate, so you probably just got the percent signs?)

Anyway, I know this is not your problem, but MAYBE you could change it to just have one substitution? (just build the x/y in code and substitute for an %s in the xml)

Its a bit dirty, so I totally understand if you wont do it...
