Context: #10528 Context: #10563 There is a report in .NET 10 of *something* going wrong with incremental builds (and possibly design-time builds)... The app crashes with an error such as: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x7f1000be at android.content.res.Resources.getText(Resources.java:466) at android.content.Context.getText(Context.java:933) at androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar.setNavigationContentDescription(Toolbar.java:1001) at crc64e02730b4d0e10e64.CustomShellRenderer_SectionRenderer.n_onCreateView(Native Method) at crc64e02730b4d0e10e64.CustomShellRenderer_SectionRenderer.onCreateView(CustomShellRenderer_SectionRenderer.java:36) ... Where the resource ID is invalid. After some debugging, after watching the video: * #10528 (comment) I was able to reproduce the issue, when I did: 1. Open emulator 2. Open project in VS 3. Ctrl+F5 (see app running) 4. Close VS (make sure emulator stays open) 5. Reopen VS 6. Ctrl+F5 again 7. App crashes Reviewing builds logs, I saw this oddity on the design-time build on step 5: Target _GenerateRtxt Building target "_GenerateRtxt" completely. Input file "Bug.Dependency.csproj" does not exist. That is a referenced project file, it definitely should exist! However, I noticed the path is wrong: Target _CollectProjectReferenceResources Task MSBuild OutputItems LibraryResourceDirectories D:\src\dotnet-android-bug-10528\src\Bug.Dependency\Resources StampFile = Bug.Dependency.csproj `%(StampFile)` is a relative path, which can be fixed via: StampFile="$(MSBuildProjectFile)" StampFile="$(MSBuildProjectFullPath)" This problem was introduced in .NET 10 via: * 9ed1469 The target also uses `$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)`, which is a full path, see: * https://learn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-reserved-and-well-known-properties I was also able to reproduce this issue by adding a class library to the existing `BuildInDesignTimeMode()` test.
