Any idea?

i think the probePath doesnt do anything....

I faced this same issue and was able to resolve it by specifying one other probe path:

<probePath>/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.Mac.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/Xamarin.Mac/Facades</probePath>

I also was seeing a subsequent crash in the reference proxy protection phase, which I disabled by setting a rule:

  <module path="lib.dll">
    <rule pattern="true" preset="normal" inherit="false">
      <protection action="remove" id="ref proxy" />
    </rule>
  </module>

The probePath works fine on MacOS. I've resolved this issue by adding the following probe paths (Xamarin.Android):

<probePath>/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.Android.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/2.1</probePath>
<probePath>/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/xbuild-frameworks/.NETPortable/v4.5/Profile/Profile259</probePath>
