Which Version of MSAL are you using ? MSAL 4.4.0

Platform xamarin android, xamarin iOS

What authentication flow has the issue? Building in non debug modes after updating from v2.7.1

Is this a new or existing app? a. The app is in production, and I have upgraded to a new version of MSAL

@deep-mm @AdamDiament Ups, totally missed the previous notification. I just kept the older version of Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus

Thanks for the reply @DiegoFaFe . Downgrading wasn’t an option for me dependency-wise, I need 4.x. Fortunately changing my Xamarin android linker behaviour to “Sdk and User Assemblies” seemed to clear up the build issue for me.

Also having this issue, but downgrading to V2.0.0 of the package (Azure Service Bus) feels weird since last version is 5 at the time of writing. Any plans for fixing this?
