VS 17.3.4 Breaks Android build with - Manifest file at 'obj\Debug\net6.0-android\android-arm\staticwebassets.build.json' not found #10102

jordanwilcox · 2022-09-13T22:19:59Z

Description

Since updating to VS 17.3.4 I can't build any MAUI Android projects on my machine.

I have verified this on two devices running VS - before updating to VS 17.3.4 it was building ok - post update to 17.3.4 the build errors show for android.

I am unable to verify if this affects iOS but the build errors seem to point only at android.

This is happening on dotnet --version 6.0.401

Steps to Reproduce

Update to VS 17.3.4
Create a brand new MAUI project (I used MAUI blazor for testing)
Attempt a build
Fails

Link to public reproduction project repository

https://github.com/jordanwilcox/maui-build-error-android-17.3.4

Version with bug

SDK 6.0.401

Last version that worked well

SDK 6.0.400

Affected platforms

Android

Affected platform versions

All android platforms

Did you find any workaround?

Workaround found by @cupsos by changing global.json in solution to sdk version 6.0.400

Same issue here :(

GioviQ · 2022-09-14T07:23:03Z

Closing VS, deleting bin and obj folder works for the first build, then the error appears again

cupsos · 2022-09-14T07:58:07Z

I'm on the same boat.

If you want to use VS 17.3.4 with MAUI now, try this.

Install SDK 6.0.400
Specify SDK version as 6.0.400 at global.json

{
    "sdk": {
        "version": "6.0.400"
    }
}

Maybe SDK issue?

Edit:

Windows update KB5017915 pushing SDK 6.0.400 to 6.0.401 and will not work above.
Do not install KB5017915 if you want keep 6.0.400.

I just tried SDK 6.0.304 but no luck.

For who can't find 6.0.400

jessestr · 2022-09-14T10:50:51Z

Same issue. Uninstalled 17.3.4 and installed 17.3.2 again and now it's totally bricked.
Reinstalled 17.3.4, same errors again as @jordanwilcox stated in initial post.

Tried to install the 6.0.400 SDK and put it in the global.json but doesn't work.

Global.json was in the wrong directory for some reason. Works again now with 6.0.400

Also seems like it's rebuilding everytime you deploy to a local Android device. Takes ages to test things.
Edit: fast deploy was automatically disabled after the update...

GioviQ · 2022-09-14T11:34:05Z

But SDK has been correctly updated from Visual Studio. No need to do separete setup

Despite the build errors, If I run the app, it works on Windows (Android not tested).

hamedhajiloo · 2022-09-14T12:15:38Z

Helped me! Just needed to add the global.json in the solution folder to use the SDK version 6.0.400. Thanks.

Thank you this works for me too, I have updated the main ticket with this workaround to help others. 😊

GreatIdeaz · 2022-09-14T19:38:40Z

It's already 6.0.401 :) if you follow the link !

Yeah, can't find 6.0.400, hope it gets fixed soon

danfer · 2022-09-14T20:51:08Z

Ok guys, for the meantime, I was able to make it to work, just did a search for file staticwebassets.build.json and found it at folder net6.0-android, so just copied it at folders where building was breaking and now it is working, cheers.

Haichen-Dong · 2022-09-14T21:02:35Z

It works. Thank you.

I found the 6.0.400 SDK at a different website third-party but it still did not work for me. This workaround did, however.

Here's the link to the third-party site in case someone gets any use out of it: https://versionsof.net/core/6.0/6.0.8/

tried both the sdk and the file copy one. it still complains about missing dependencies now

Where can I find Global.json file? Also you said Global.json was in wrong directory. Can you tell me what should be location of Global.json?

danroth27 · 2022-09-23T00:25:15Z

@samhouts hello. I follow your advice and run dotnet workload update and can't create maui blazor project anymore (no template), what should do I do?

@xiangnanscu There appears to be an issue with dotnet workload update when .NET MAUI was installed using VS. Instead, run dotnet workload install maui to bring back the templates and get the latest .NET MAUI bits that fix this issue. Note that this will only install .NET MAUI for the active .NET SDK. You can switch the active .NET SDK by creating a global.json file with the desired .NET SDK version.

xiangnanscu · 2022-09-23T01:11:14Z

@danroth27 thanks. I run dotnet workload restore in the project folder and problem solved. I just feel a little wiered that this command required to be run in a specific project folder but it installs some global workload becasuse after that maui blazor template is available.
Also does what I do is the same as dotnet workload install maui as you suggest? If not, I follow yours.

danroth27 · 2022-09-23T21:08:18Z

@xiangnanscu I believe dotnet workload restore basically does a dotnet workload install for the workloads it detects a project needs.

alexdbkim · 2022-09-24T04:42:20Z

@tb-mtg your workaround resolved this issue! Thank you. I modified little bit on you suggestion to support both Debug build and Release build.

Open MAUI project csproj file.
Add below section after <ItemGroup> section (basically at the end of file before </Project>)

  <Target Name="TempFixBeforeBuild" BeforeTargets="PreBuildEvent" >
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\staticwebassets.build.json" DestinationFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\android-arm\staticwebassets.build.json" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\staticwebassets.build.json" DestinationFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\android-arm64\staticwebassets.build.json" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\staticwebassets.build.json" DestinationFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\android-x64\staticwebassets.build.json" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\staticwebassets.build.json" DestinationFiles="$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\net6.0-android\android-x86\staticwebassets.build.json" />
  </Target>

This may still fail especially with rebuild. Building once again should be successful though. I know it's not the best but still better than being blocked by this issue I guess :) Hope this is cleaned up soon.

UPDATE:

dotnet workload install maui should resolved the issue and no longer need to have customer PreBuildEvent as workaround.

danroth27 · 2022-09-26T15:22:27Z

@alexdbkim Did you try running dotnet workload install maui to get the latest .NET MAUI servicing release, which should have a fix for this issue?

tb-mtg · 2022-09-27T03:16:33Z

Thanks @alexdbkim - I think doing the workload install maui has fixed my issue.

shugaoye · 2022-09-27T05:38:15Z

I have the same issue and use the above workaround temporarily.

alexdbkim · 2022-09-27T06:06:40Z

@danroth27 @tb-mtg Yes I can confirm the suggested commend fixed the issue. I can build without the temporary workaround now.

FIX:
dotnet workload install maui

OskrLrba · 2022-09-28T12:34:11Z

I have just updated to VS 17.3.5. It seems it's ok but yesterday I run dotnet workload install maui as @danroth suggested so I don't know if this new version fixes this issue. Have you tested it?

GreatIdeaz · 2022-09-28T12:34:12Z

VS dropped a new release 17.3.5 yesterday that fixed the problem for me! Tony Nicholls 705 543 1312

It works fine for me, the other solutions posted didn't help. Bad that the 17.3.4 sucked for MAUI. Good that the VS team turned around a fix in 17.3.5 so quickly. Just wish we had a simple revert mechanism in VS. For now, I'll be testing new VS versions in a spare dev environment before they are widely adopted by my team. Thank you to VS/MAUI teams for your wonderful technology! I really love what you are doing and how fast you are iterating even if we do hit these occasional bumps. Tony Nicholls 705 543 1312
