✅ Troubleshooting MAUI build errors
I have my MAUI project that gives me build errors and an equivalent example project that builds and runs fine on my Android device. I'm trying to determine what differs between the two projects, but apart from little things like names etc. I can't find any significant differences, yet only the example project builds. The same build error occurs twice in my project:
This error is logged once for an Android build and once for an iOS build. Each of these builds logs an obscenely long call to
csc.exe. These calls start off like this:
One of my problems is these compiler commands have no less than 190 /reference parameters each. I am busy trying to use regex to break a command down into a string containing a list of references so I can compare these between project builds, but this is an extremely low level approach and progress is somewhat slower than I can actually bill time for.1 Reply
I asked on StackOverflow and someone more observant than me pointed out that the build error referred to a
clr-namespace with assembly=DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid:dxg:AdvancedColumnLayout.RowDefinitions. Note the erroneously included xmlns prefix :dxg: in the assembly name.
