Satellite assemblies for other locales than the default are not deployed when EmbedAssembliesIntoApk = true

[Cheesebaron]

Android framework version

net9.0-android

Affected platform version

.NET 9.0.100

Description

When I debug an application where csproj contains <EmbedAssembliesIntoApk>true</EmbedAssembliesIntoApk> for the configuration I am running it appears like satellite assemblies for other languages than the neutral one are not deployed with the App.

This means that at runtime when switching languages using something like:

CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = newCultureInfo;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = newCultureInfo;

Then grabbing strings from the Resx files we use, always yield the strings from the neutral language.

Looking at the output from the App at runtime you will see:

Did you find any workaround?

Setting EmbedAssembliesIntoApk to false seems to alleviate this issue.

So I managed to repo the issue with the sample provided.

Oddly lib/arm64-v8a/lib-de-DE-Shared.resources.dll.so and lib/x86_64/lib-de-DE-Shared.resources.dll.so are both present in the apk! So this means something else is going on.
