AndroidManifest not editable from VS-for-Windows after migration from VS-for-Mac

Question

I have open an issue vie visual studio reporting tool, but unfortunately i still not have feedback from microsoft team. I have project with a Xamarin application, developed and deployed for more than an year on Visual Studio for Mac. Now I need to migrate the project from MacOS to Windows. Everything seemed fine after opening the Solution, except the AndroidManifest.xml. Although it is present, the Project properties -> Android Manifest cannot find and parse the file in Debug mode. If I switch the target to Release, it somehow manages to open it and the Android Manifest editor appears correctly. We have a deadline with release a new version on AppStore and Google Play and will really appreciate your help. We are pressed by a deadline and i need to get this work properly soon , so that i can finish my task. Do please help us. Thank you in advance! ![82000-image.png][1] [1]: /api/attachments/82000-image.png?platform=QnA

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Could you check if AndroidManifest.xml file exist in obj/Debug/android/AndroidManifest.xml ?

If there is no such a file , try to delete bin and obj folder and rebuild .

If problem persists , create a new xml file named AndroidManifest and copy the value from Properties/AndroidManifest into it .
