+    Keep the resource designer assembly on the trimmable type map path.
+
+    The non-trimmable path (Microsoft.Android.Sdk.TypeMap.LlvmIr.targets) runs
+    PreTrimmingFixLegacyDesigner, which rewrites legacy resource field loads into designer
+    property-getter calls so the trimmer can drop unused designer members. The trimmable path
+    does not run that rewrite. More importantly, resource ids are resolved via reflection at
+    runtime (Android.Runtime.ResourceIdManager then ResourceDesignerAttribute then Type.GetType /
+    UpdateIdValues), which neither ILLink nor ILC can follow. If the designer assembly is left
+    trimmable it gets removed entirely, and accessing any resource id (e.g. from a reflection-only
+    code path) throws a TypeInitializationException wrapping
+    System.IO.FileNotFoundException: _Microsoft.Android.Resource.Designer at runtime.
+
+    Keep the whole _Microsoft.Android.Resource.Designer assembly. Two things are required on the
+    NativeAOT (ILC) path:
+      * ILC only loads the assemblies passed to it as references; the designer is a compile-time
+        reference but is NOT in @(IlcReference), so add it. Rooting an assembly ILC never loaded
+        fails hard with "Failed to load assembly '_Microsoft.Android.Resource.Designer'".
+      * Root it so ILC/ILLink keep it whole (TrimMode-based rooting can't be used here because
+        _AndroidComputeIlcCompileInputs clears @(_IlcManagedInputAssemblies)).
+
+    Drive both off @(ReferencePath) filtered to the designer: the item is empty when the designer
+    assembly was not generated (e.g. no resources / AndroidGenerateResourceDesigner=false), so we
+    never reference or root a non-existent assembly. @(IlcReference) is ignored by ILLink, so the
+    CoreCLR path just gets the root.
