how to enable debug in release mode in MAUI mobile application

Question

How can I enable debugging in release mode? Some functionalities are not working when I release the app, but they work in debug mode. I've tried multiple methods but haven't found a proper solution.

Inside .csproj file

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Release|net8.0-android|AnyCPU'">
	<AndroidPackageFormat>apk</AndroidPackageFormat>
	<AndroidUseAapt2>True</AndroidUseAapt2>
	<AndroidCreatePackagePerAbi>False</AndroidCreatePackagePerAbi>
	<DebugType>full</DebugType>
	<DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols>
	<AndroidDebuggable>true</AndroidDebuggable>
</PropertyGroup>

or in AndroidMainfest file i also enable Debuggable true but it's not working.
