Android .NET MAUI app fully reinstalls on each build and deploy #128

domneedham commented 2 weeks ago

When debugging via .NET Meteor for our .NET MAUI Android app, the app is fully reinstalled, losing preferences, permissions etc. This requires going through app setup, such as logging in, again every time we want to debug.

Environment:

macOS: Our dev team see it on Ventura and Sequoia .NET MAUI: 8.0.40 but any above. Not sure about .NET 9 and MAUI rc

Thanks for replying so fast, that does fix it.

Do you know why this only affects Android? iOS, Mac and Windows with the same setting on does not lose any previous install data?
