Can you please let me know what needs to be done to revert to previous version of xamarin android and VS for Mac. Where can we download these packages for Mac. Currently blocked due to the issue.

[ghost]

I have the same exact problem after updating Xamarin on Mac. The problem does not exist in 10.1.3.7, so rolling back helps.

[jonathanpeppers]

Can someone attach a diagnostic MSBuild log? It seems like it is complaining about classes.dex missing from the APK, but we need the full log to understand what happened.

Download URLs are on the README for each version.

[brendanzagaeski]

Can someone attach a diagnostic MSBuild log?

As a quick follow-up on this, in Visual Studio for Mac, this error will likely be part of the app deployment phase, so the full steps to collect diagnostic MSBuild output in this case are:

1. Set Visual Studio > Preferences > Projects [section] > Build [subsection] > Log verbosity to Diagnostic.
2. Clean and deploy the app project again.
3. Open the View > Pads > Errors window. Click on the Build Output button to show the build output.
4. Copy and paste all of the output from that window into a text file.
5. Open the View > Pads > Deploying to Device window.
6. Copy and paste all of the output from that deployment window into a text file too. (You can paste it at the end of the same text file from step 4 if you like.)
7. Zip up and attach the text file(s).

Note that the diagnostic MSBuild output does contain environment variables, such as the macOS user name, so if you prefer to keep it private, a few options are:

• Upload the project to a temporary private GitHub repository, and add brendanzagaeski or jonathanpeppers as a collaborator.
• Or use Help > Report a Problem from within Visual Studio to create an item on Visual Studio Developer Community. Those allow private attachments. Then you can link to the Developer Community item here. After that I'll close the Developer Community item to point to this GitHub issue, and we can continue the discussion here.
• Or send a one to one message to me on Gitter, for example using a /query @brendanzagaeski command from within the Xamarin.Android Gitter channel, and we can coordinate on another way to send the project non-publicly.

Thanks in advance!

[brendanzagaeski]

I found that I was able to reproduce this problem with a new template project by enabling multidex and setting the DEX compiler to DX. I'll take a look through the output to see if I can find additional clues.

EDIT: The initial steps to reproduce and log file I attached in this comment weren't quite consistent. There's something trickier happening moving between the IDE and the command line. I'll post another comment with more accurate steps to reproduce and a new log file once I've got that sorted out.

[vravindranath]

Sorry my dev was getting broken due to the issue. I had to roll back.
I dont use the new version of Xamarin android now. But it has started happening once i upgraded.
The dex was using dx and there was no r8 used. Previously with the same setting it was working.
Happy to see that you were able to reproduce.

[brendanzagaeski]

Steps to reproduce

1. Download and extract the attached test case on macOS.
2. msbuild -restore -p:Configuration=Release -t:Install

4478TestCase.zip

Expected behavior

The classes.dex file generated by the CompileToDalvik task should be output to obj/Release/android/bin/classes.dex.

To produce this expected behavior with the test case:

rm -r obj AndroidApp1/bin AndroidApp1/obj
msbuild -restore -p:Configuration=Release -t:Install

The obj directory at the top level of the test case started off as a full copy of the obj directory that I had moved there to save for later comparisons. But I was able to trim it down to just a small hierarchy, containing a few directories and no files.

It seems the presence of that directory for some reason changes the path separator behavior in MSBuild.

Actual behavior

The classes.dex file is output to obj/Release/android/bin/classes/classes.dex:

$ find AndroidApp1 -name 'classes.dex'
AndroidApp1/obj/Release/android/bin/classes/classes.dex

Log files

logs.zip

The problem seems to be caused by a difference in path separator characters.

For example, the first difference between the Expected and Actual diagnostic MSBuild output log files is:

-Property reassignment: $(MSBuildProjectExtensionsPath)="/Users/macuser/Projects/AndroidApp1/AndroidApp1/obj/" (previous value: "obj\") at /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/6.8.0/lib/mono/xbuild/Current/Microsoft.Common.props (56,5)
+Property reassignment: $(MSBuildProjectExtensionsPath)="/Users/macuser/Projects/AndroidApp1/AndroidApp1/obj/" (previous value: "obj/") at /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/6.8.0/lib/mono/xbuild/Current/Microsoft.Common.props (56,5)

And the important difference is:

 Using "CompileToDalvik" task from assembly "/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks.dll".
 Task "CompileToDalvik"
   Task Parameter:DxJarPath=/Users/macuser/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/28.0.3/lib/dx.jar
   Task Parameter:DxExtraArguments=--dex --no-strict
   Task Parameter:JavaToolPath=/Users/macuser/Library/Developer/Xamarin/jdk/microsoft_dist_openjdk_1.8.0.25/bin
   Task Parameter:JavaMaximumHeapSize=1G
-  Task Parameter:ClassesOutputDirectory=obj/Release/android/bin/classes
+  Task Parameter:ClassesOutputDirectory=obj/Release/android/bin/classes/

A possible workaround

I was able to work around the problem by adjusting Xamarin.Android.Common.targets to account for the different path separator:

--- a/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.Android.framework/Versions/Current/lib/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Common.targets
+++ b/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.Android.framework/Versions/Current/lib/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Common.targets
@@ -2476,7 +2476,7 @@ because xbuild doesn't support framework reference assemblies.
     JavaToolPath="$(JavaToolPath)"
     JavaMaximumHeapSize="$(JavaMaximumHeapSize)"
     JavaOptions="$(JavaOptions)"
-    ClassesOutputDirectory="$(_AndroidIntermediateJavaClassDirectory.TrimEnd('\'))"

     ClassesZip="$(_AndroidIntermediateClassesZip)"
     ToolPath="$(DxToolPath)"
     ToolExe="$(DxToolExe)"

(The D8 task avoids this picky dependence on the presence or absence of the path separator character, so switching to the D8 DEX compiler is also a workaround for the attached test case.)

[jonathanpeppers]

@brendanzagaeski thanks for figuring this out. This is extremely weird.

I can reproduce the problem with your zip, but deleting the top obj directory fixes the problem. This makes no sense at all, because the _actual_ obj directory is in AndroidApp1/obj

[jonathanpeppers]

@vravindranath as a workaround can you try this at the bottom of your .csproj file?

  <PropertyGroup>
    <_AndroidIntermediateJavaClassDirectory>obj\$(Configuration)\android\bin\classes</_AndroidIntermediateJavaClassDirectory>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

This should allow you to keep using dx. Let us know if that works, thanks.

[gsgou]

Had the same issue, worked for me and allowed me to keep dx. Thanks a lot for the workaround!

[SaravanaPandian0905]

I have been facing this same issue over 2 months on Windows. I couldn`t able to downgrade Xamarin Android version to 10.3.1.0 as it installs latest version (11.0.2.0) when running VS setup on windows. Kindly help.

VS 2019 Version - 16.7.7

[jonathanpeppers]

@SaravanaPandian0905 can you file a new issue with more details?

You can check if your .apk file is missing classes.dex, and if it is there, it is likely a different problem.

[SaravanaPandian0905]

@jonathanpeppers , Have created a new issue with more details. Please have a look at this once.
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/issues/5255

You can check if your .apk file is missing classes.dex - Thanks for your suggestion. By extracting the APK file, shall I check apk file is missing classes.dex ?

[jonathanpeppers]

You can use any .zip utility to look at the .apk file. All Java/Kotlin code is in a single classes.dex file that is expected to be in the root of the archive.

This issue is long fixed, so your problem is likely something completely different.

[SaravanaPandian0905]

@jonathanpeppers , Thanks. I could able to see the classes.dex file after extracting .apk. could you please look at the new issue which I created ? and have a look at the screenshot once and share me a solution/suggestion if any because I have been facing this same Mono AndroidTools exception issue for so long till now.
