[NativeAOT] Build fails when configuration is not 'Release' or Debug #10851
Description
Android framework version
net10.0-android
Affected platform version
VS 2026 18.3.1, Dotnet SDK 10.0.103, maui-android 10.0.103
Description
It looks like the NativeAOT runtime isn't being linked when the project configuration isn't Debug or Release.
I've made a reproducible where:
dotnet publish .\NativeAot-Android-NonReleaseConfig.csproj --framework net10.0-android36.0 --configuration Release -r android-arm64
and
dotnet publish .\NativeAot-Android-NonReleaseConfig.csproj --framework net10.0-android36.0 --configuration Debug -r android-arm64
are both successful.
but
dotnet publish .\NativeAot-Android-NonReleaseConfig.csproj --framework net10.0-android36.0 --configuration AppStore -r android-arm64
fails with multiple ld.lld undefined symbol errors, such as 'XA_Host_NativeAOT_OnInit'
Steps to Reproduce
Reproducable based on default maui sample content @
https://github.com/james-allison/dotnet-repros/tree/main/NativeAot-Android-NonReleaseConfig
Checkout, and try publishing with:
dotnet publish .\NativeAot-Android-NonReleaseConfig.csproj --framework net10.0-android36.0 --configuration AppStore -r android-arm64
Did you find any workaround?
Publish Android NativeAOT builds with the 'Release' configuration.
Relevant log output
dotnet publish .\NativeAot-Android-NonReleaseConfig\NativeAot-Android-NonReleaseConfig.csproj --framework net10.0-android36.0 --configuration AppStore -r android-arm64
