Project deploy OK in debug mode but failed in release mode.

Question

Hi all

My maui android project deploy OK in debug mode but failed in release mode.

Note: I deploy with adding publish xaml in the project file as follows :

<PropertyGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-android')) and '$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
<AndroidKeyStore>True</AndroidKeyStore>
<AndroidSigningKeyStore>myapp.keystore</AndroidSigningKeyStore>
<AndroidSigningKeyAlias>MyAppkey</AndroidSigningKeyAlias>
<AndroidSigningKeyPass>1234567</AndroidSigningKeyPass>
<AndroidSigningStorePass>1234567</AndroidSigningStorePass>
</PropertyGroup>

in debug mode its deployed OK.

but deploy in release mode I get this error:

Installation of the app failed.

Note that the pakage files generated in the release folder are Ok
and when installed in my physical device is also OK.

Please can someone help in this.

Thank you.

Hello,

If the error message is error : Invalid dex file indices, expecting file 'classes?.dex' but found 'classes2.dex', you could try to change your system language to English and rebuild this project.

The following resolved thread and documentation should be helpful for you.

• Invalid dex file indices" Error in Net Maui.
• Publish a .NET MAUI app for Android with the CLI.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
