Singleproject Maui Android net8.0 | required location of AndroidManifest.xml changed after upgrading?

Question

I have experienced that after upgrading my project to net8.0 that the required location for the Manifest has changed from Platforms/Android to the root of the project.

I have the feeling that this was not intended or even a bug, the lack of documentation on a change like this is one of the reasons for my suspicion.

My question is if this is a bug and/or how i could fix this inside my project.

Answer 1

Hello,

My question is if this is a bug and/or how i could fix this inside my project.

This is a mistake.

The MAUI project structure in DotNet 8 has not changed from previous versions.

According to my tests, this issue does not occur after upgrading with the official upgrade assistant or manually through Upgrading .NET MAUI from .NET 7 to .NET 8.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
