I am new to MVVMCross, tring to read a file from resource folder. Any ideas?

What I have tried:

var assembly = typeof(Assembly).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
string[] resources = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();
Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("QueueResponse.txt");
but getting resources as empty.

I think you need to prefix the filename "QueueResponse.txt" with the namespace of the Assembly, ie

C#

Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MyNamespace.QueueResponse.txt");

obviously MyNamespace != your name space - use the actual value the assembly was built with
