We are working on an App in .NET MAUI, which features an SQLite3 database.
The app & database works flawlessly when launching the app on Windows, and on an Android Emulator. However, if I launch the app to my Local Android Device (Physical device), the app immediately crashes returning the error "System.DllNotFoundException: 'e_sqlite3'".
No additional information is provided, and i'm not sure what other information would be relevant to provide in order to locate the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Where did you store the SQLite DB?
Could you please share your SQLite database creation code with us?
Which way did you install the application? Installing with an APK?

I have the same error message ( error: System.DllNotFoundException: 'e_sqlite3') in Visual Studio 2022 with an Android emulator.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I've just recently resolved the issue, and it turned out it was merely a deployment issue and performing a clean-build completely resolved the problem.
Such a silly mistake caused way too much of a headache for me, it seems!

I still facing the same issue.
