MAUI -- Another user has already installed an unpackaged version of this app. The current user cannot replace this with a packaged version.

I'm running into an issue with a commercial Maui app I'm working on.

Essentially, we have multiple developers working on this application over RDP, none of which have administrative privileges.

What happens is that when one user builds and debugs, anyone else who tries to do the same will run into this error:

Another user has already installed an unpackaged version of this app. The current user cannot replace this with a packaged version. The conflicting package is <GUID> and it was published by CN=<USERNAME>.

Basically it seems like since we're all relegated to the same machine for RDP, that we're running into install conflicts.

Does anyone have a workaround that would allow all of our developers to work on this without constantly uninstalling/re-installing?

Thank you in advance!
