I'm having trouble installing my MAUI app directly from Visual Studio. Whenever I try to install it, I encounter errors, and the app breaks during the installation process.

Development Environment:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Preview Version 17.11.0 Preview 7.0
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.10.5

Error Message:

12:57:53:294 Start debugging Android application ... 12:57:53:294 Forwarding debugger port 8809 12:57:53:294 Detecting existing process 12:57:54:063 > am start -a "android.intent.action.MAIN" -c "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" -n "com.companyname.appname/crc64504875b33ff43b35.MainActivity" 12:57:54:386 > Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.companyname.appname/crc64504875b33ff43b35.MainActivity }
