Fixes: #8190
In a customer sample, they have an
.aarfile they need the Java code from, but do not want a C# binding for it:Bind="false"looks to have the side effect where:It does not get copied to the output directory.
The Java types don't make it to the final app.
Crash at runtime:
A workaround is to add a line such as:
I could reproduce this issue by updating our existing
DotNetBuildLibrarytest. I could assert the file exists in the output directory, as well as actually usingdexdumpto verify Java classes make it to the app. They did not!The solution here being that we are missing a line such as:
<!-- .aar files should be copied to $(OutputPath) in .NET 6--> ++<None Include="@(AndroidAarLibrary)" TfmSpecificPackageFile="%(AndroidAarLibrary.Pack)" Pack="false" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" Link="%(Filename)%(Extension)" /> <None Include="@(LibraryProjectZip)" TfmSpecificPackageFile="%(LibraryProjectZip.Pack)" Pack="false" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" Link="%(Filename)%(Extension)" />Now the
DotNetBuildLibrarytest passes.
