Type kotlinx.serialization.BinaryFormat is defined multiple times

[jethro-djan]

Android framework version

net9.0-android

Affected platform version

.NET 9.0.101

Description

I am trying to compile a Xamarin.android project which was recently converted to .NET MAUI using the upgrade-assistant and making all the necessary changes in files and .csproj.

I suddenly started having issues with the dependencies so I decided to upgrade all of them to the latest versions. I resolved all the issues associated to this #764 but I can't fix this one.

It seems to me that MAUI crucially depends on xamarin.android.jetbrains.kotlinx_serialization_core_jvm version 1.3.1. However, some packages in my project also depend on Xamarin.KotlinX.Serialization.Core.Jvm version 1.7.3.1. The class in question is defined in both.

How do I resolve this? I can't remove either without errors.

Directory 'obj/Debug/net9.0-android/lp/679' is from 'Xamarin.KotlinX.Serialization.Core.Jvm.aar'.

Thanks for the feedback.

Please see:

#764

Otherwise provide list of PackageReferences so we can investigate.

OK I just saw

I suddenly started having issues with the dependencies so I decided to upgrade all of them to the latest versions. I resolved all the issues associated to this #764 but I can't fix this one.

Yes it is very problem (app) specific - dependencies, transitive dependencies.

[jethro-djan]

So I tracked it down to removing Microsoft.Maui.Controls. Then I reverted some of the packages back to previous versions that don't depend on Serialization.Core. Then I could safely remove Xamarin.KotlinX.Serialization.Core.Jvm version 1.7.3.1. Now I am unable to compile due to another error (which I don't think is related to this but would appreciate any pointers as to how to resolve).

NuGet package '<unknown>' version '<unknown>' contains a shared library 'libavutil.so' which is not correctly aligned. See https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes for more details

The particular library that is not correctly aligned keeps changing.

Or could it be that removing the package caused this?

Error

NuGet package '' version '' contains a shared library 'libavutil.so' which is not correctly aligned. See https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes for more details

is very different from

Type T is defined multiple times

where T in your case is kotlinx.serialization.BinaryFormat

1st one is Warning for now:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/android/messages/xa0141

Android uses 4kB pages and in the future it will be 16 kB. This warning is for authors of nugets that have native shared (*.so) libraries which will be need recompilation with 16 kB page size.

It seems to me that MAUI crucially depends on xamarin.android.jetbrains.kotlinx_serialization_core_jvm version 1.3.1.

It should also be noted that https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Android.JetBrains.KotlinX_Serialization_Core_Jvm is not a Microsoft package and I highly doubt MAUI itself depends on it. 😉

@jethro-djan

And

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Android.JetBrains.KotlinX_Serialization_Core_Jvm#versions-body-tab

is simply too old 2021-12-30. More than 4 years.

closing this issue.
