MAUI .NET 8 on Android -Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3'

Aneetha 65

I have created a new MAUI .NET 8 project and migrated the Xamarin forms project code. When tried to run the project with the Android device in Visual Studio 2022 (windows), which threw the exception below,

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3': The specified module could not be found.

This happens when trying to open a database connection.

I am using the package below for the SQLite connection,

<PackageReference Include="Mono.Data.Sqlite" Version="1.0.61" />

Note: This exception happening only on Android, It's working properly in iOS.

Please help us to resolve this issue.

Which is your .NET version?

.NET MAUI 8

Did you use .NET Upgrade Assistant to upgrade a Xamarin.Forms app to a .NET MAUI app?

No, created a new MAUI project and manually converted the Xamarin code.

I find Mono.Data.Sqlite compatible target framework is not include the .NET 8, please try to use sqlite-net-pcl instead like this document: .NET MAUI local databases

Yes the issue is solved when we use sqlite-net-pcl package. Thank you.
