net8.0-android34.0 - Deployment failed on Android device with error XABLD7023: Could not find a part of the path

[JamestsaiTW]

Hello,

I tried again without any changes (or involuntarily...) and it works now... Sorry, I don’t know why.

Thank you for your attention.

The same issue also had occurred on my project, too.

Done building project "MyApp.csproj" -- FAILED.
Build FAILED.

My workaround is creating a folder naming "shrunk" on each localization folder and copy "Microsoft.Maui.Controls.resources.dll" from localization folder to "shrunk" folder.

After repeat above step for each localization folder, app's apk/aab can be archived successfully by Visual Studio.

Can you attach a logcat file with your crash? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/deploy-test/debugging/android-debug-log?tabs=windows

I think the error above is a build error, so a .binlog would help us investigate: https://aka.ms/binlog

Hi @PureWeen and @jonathanpeppers,

I can build my project successfully, and it can deploy to android device or simulator by using Visaul Studio. My problem is "It can't archive and sign apk or abb successfully.", so I can't upload my new version app to Google Play Console.

I notice there is something odd about the nuget library of Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Core at Nuget Folder.

For my case: The 8.0.82 and 8.0.90 version folder is correct:
and it can archive my app successfully.

The 8.0.91 version folder is wrong:
and it can't archive my app.

---

I also try to create a new .net maui app by the .net maui template of Visual Studio and update the Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Core version to 8.0.91. It can archive apk and aab successfully.

After I had archived by new project, I notice the nuget folder of version 8.0.91 for "Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Core" becomes the correct structure.

I also can archive my project.

But...if I delete the nugets folder of version 8.0.91 for "Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Core", it can't archive my project again.

Can you share a .binlog of where it is writing to C:\<mynugetsfolder>\microsoft.maui.controls.core\8.0.<xx>\lib\net8.0-android34.0\<localizationfolder>\shrunk\? https://aka.ms/binlog

If it works fine in a project template, it must be something about your settings in this specific app.
