App crash: condition `xref_count == xref_index' not met

[MarcinPawlicaFS]

Hi Everyone, I've spent some time searching for similar issues, but couldn't find an answer, so I decided to write a post here.

In our MAUI app, when running on Android, after a couple of page changes (10-ish maybe), the app simply crashes. I managed to get some information from the Android device, and here are some interesting things I was able to find.

First of all, these are the last logs with my app's process id (have cut out other logs for clarity, can send the full thing if needed)

And here's some more details that I believe are also present in the tombstone file:

Unfortunately I am unable to provide a small isolated project which shows the issue, haven't had enough luck to convince my boss that spending time on doing that is worthwhile... yet :)

When searching for possible solutions I stumbled upon suggestions to change the bridge-implementation to old or new, but those are rather old, and I was unable to find a way to make the MONO_GC_PARAMS thing in a file to work (no AndroidEnvironment build action in my VS). I also found a very short information, that the 'old' implementation is no longer supported since .NET 7 anyway.

We are using .NET 8, VS 2022 v17.10.2.

I would kindly ask for your help in finding the source of my issue.

Hey, did you find a solution for this. Having the same issue

[corradolab]

I got the same error with a net8.0-android application (which is what MAUI uses when targeting Android).
Fixed setting
MONO_GC_PARAMS=bridge-implementation=new
as described here
