Android application type

Classic Xamarin.Android (MonoAndroid12.0, etc.)

Affected platform version

Windows VS 2020 Latest release (including Beta version), Android 7.1.1 Custom Device

Description

While trying the work around for issue #7521 (comment), which involves using Fast Deployment, I encounter the error

XA0136: The 'run-as' command failed with 'run-as: Package 'packagename' has corrupt installation'.
The currently installation of the package in corrupt. Please manually uninstall the
package from all the users on device and try again. If that does not work you can disable Fast Deployment.
Fast Deployment can be disabled in the Visual Studio project property pages or edit the project file in a text editor and set the 'EmbedAssembliesIntoApk' MSBuild property to 'true'.

msbuild.zip

Steps to Reproduce

1. Xamarin.Android project running on custom device, Android 7.1.1, armv7 chip
2. Visual Studio 2022 17.5.0 Preview 6.0 (but also experienced in on previous versions)
3. Currently there is a bug that is preventing from running with debugger (mscorblib cannot load) that has a fix that isn't released yet, the work around is to use Fast Deployment
4. Run with debug and Fast Deployment enabled
5. Observe error about run-as command failed due to corrupt installation
6. Without Fast Deployment, the app will start then crash due to the mscorlib error, but then you can relaunch the app without debugger and it runs fine
7. With fast deployment, even after the initial attempt at it running, trying to run it again will result in an immediate crash

Did you find any workaround?

No

@jlinker7

Thanks for opening the issue and the binlog.
However we are missing the additional diagnostics produced by the _FastDeploymentDiagnosticLogging option.
Could you please provide a new one with that option enabed?

msbuild foo.csproj /restore -t:Install -p:_FastDeploymentDiagnosticLogging=true -bl

My apologies, I thought I had it enabled before that run, but may have switched branches without realizing it. Let me know if this includes the information needed. I included both the binlog file and the output to the command prompt window when running the msbuild command. Thanks!
