Cannot build Android ToDoApp

Hello
I'm trying to build Todo app sample, but it doesn't work. I get multiple errors, all in Swimlane.xaml.cs and in generated Swimlane.g.cs code.
I tried with VS 2019 and VS 2022, both on the same machine.
Does Android app work? UWP works fine, and I didn't try others.
Errors are attached.

Thanks, Tom

Cron - Not running multiple instances of a job

This is not an elaborate solution, but it works (in theory). You can't choose to have multiple instances running or not. I just assumed not to have multiple instances running regardless. I assumed this is not required unless you are running a job every minute or two.

I added a field to the scheduler that tracks the Task returned by job.Run(stoppingToken);. On ever tick check the list for completed tasks and clear them. Prior to running a job skip if it is on the list of running jobs.

I'm sure this might need some tweaking this was my first attempt at it.

private Dictionary<string, Task> _runningJobs;

.
.
.

// Clear completed jobs
foreach (var key in _runningJobs.Keys)
{
    if (_runningJobs[key].IsCompleted)
    {
        _runningJobs[key].Dispose();
        _runningJobs.Remove(key);
    }
}

// Run jobs that are in the map
RunActiveJobs(runMap, now, stoppingToken);

.
.
.

foreach (var run in currentRuns)
{

    // We are sure (thanks to our extension method)
    // that the service is of type ICronJob
    var job = (ICronJob)_serviceProvider.GetRequiredService(run);
    string jobName = job.GetType().Name;

    // Continue to next job if job is already running
    if (_runningJobs.ContainsKey(jobName))
    {
        continue;
    }

    // We don't want to await jobs explicitly because that
    // could interfere with other job runs
    var task = job.Run(stoppingToken);

    // Add task to running jobs
    _runningJobs.Add(jobName, task);
}
