Load XML works on PC but not on Android

Hello everybody, I wrote an application which loads an XML Document. For different kind of shapes there are different x and y coordinates stored in the XML Document. After loading the XML Document I want to get access to these coordinates. When I run my application in the editor everything works fine. But if I compile it to android it doesn’t load the XML Document anymore. I don’t really know why this code didn’t work on android. I thought maybe on android the Resources folder cannot be found. So I stored my XML Document in an string to load the XML Document from string, this also works fine on PC but not in Android.
I load the XML Document and get access to the coordinates this way :

 TextAsset textAsset = (TextAsset)Resources.Load("coordinates");
         XmlDocument jobdoc = new XmlDocument();
         jobdoc.LoadXml(textAsset.text);
 
         //I tried to store the XML-Document in an string like this:
         //string jobstring = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><TEST_JOB><JobLines><JobLine Name=\"\"><Pos_X_Y x=\"10\" y=\"10\" /><Orientation roll=\"-180\" yaw=\"180\" /><Conditions /></JobLine><JobLine Name=\"\"><Pos_X_Y x=\"20\" y=\"20\" /><Orientation roll=\"180\"  yaw=\"0\" /><Conditions /></JobLine></JobLines></TEST_JOB>";
         //XmlDocument jobdoc = new XmlDocument();
         //jobdoc.LoadXml(jobstring);
 
         XmlNodeList xNodesJob = jobdoc.SelectNodes("/TEST_JOB/JobLines/JobLine");
 
         for (int i = 0; i < xNodesJob.Count; i++)
         {
             XmlNode xmlNodePos = xNodesJob[i].SelectSingleNode("Pos_X_Y");
 
             if (xmlNodePos.Attributes.Count > 0)
             {
                 x = ((double.Parse(xmlNodePos.Attributes["x"].Value)));
                 y = ((double.Parse(xmlNodePos.Attributes["y"].Value)));               
             }
         }

Or maybe the mistake is not in the way I load the XML Document maybe I made a mistake by getting access to the coordinates. This is an example of the XML Document.

  <TEST_JOB>
     <JobLines>
       <JobLine Name="">
         <Pos_X_Y x="10" y="10" />
         <Orientation roll="-180" yaw="180" />
         <Conditions />
       </JobLine>
       <JobLine Name="">
         <Pos_X_Y x="20" y="20" />
         <Orientation roll="180"  yaw="0" />
         <Conditions />
       </JobLine>
     </JobLines>
  </TEST_JOB>

I really hope somebody is able to help me I am struggling with that problem since one week. Greetings Kay
