MAUI-Android-Release package compiled under W11 not working

Description

MAUI Android (API31) application not working when compiled for Release, under Windows 11 (the application crashes right after the splash screen).

The application runs when compiled in Debug mode. It also works perfectly when compiled for Release or Debug under Windows 10.

Trimmining and AOT have been disabled in Release mode due to other issues.

Error message from the Device Log:

Why is this method missing when compiled for Release on Windows 11? What are we missing? Do we need to add some specific configuration, whatever to make this work? How to guess what is creating the issue? The error message is not very explicit.

An empty/default MAUI application works as expected when compiled for Release on Windows 11. So, there is something in our application creating this issue.

@jonmikeli @jonathanpeppers I think the best and easiest way is to open a new issue in VS feedbug and upload logs and screenshots privately. You can link to it here and we can see it there.

That issue will eventually come back here, but we can use it for now to keep all your secrets hidden on our private servers in the cloud. 😄

Please open a new issue so we can track that better. Thanks!

And, glad you got the app building!
