MSAL auth - Android - Release - crash after splashscreen

Description

Hello,

I followed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/mobile-apps/azure-mobile-apps/quickstarts/maui/authentication

It works well in Debug on each platform.

But on Android, it crashes after splashscreen in Release mode. It works well in Debug.

Maybe there is a permission to add but it’s not in the documentation so I don’t know.

Will provide a repro project tomorrow morning

Steps to Reproduce

Add a new activity with

[Activity(Exported = true)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Intent.ActionView },
    Categories = new[] { Intent.CategoryBrowsable, Intent.CategoryDefault },
    DataHost = "auth",
    DataScheme = "msal{CANNOT_SHARE_MY_ID_HERE")]
public class MsalActivity : BrowserTabActivity
{
}

and in MainActivity, add

protected override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, [GeneratedEnum] Result resultCode, Intent data)
{
    base.OnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    // Return control to MSAL
    AuthenticationContinuationHelper.SetAuthenticationContinuationEventArgs(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

Did you find any workaround?

Archive in Debug instead of Release but the app is so slow… Or remove authentication ? 💥 🙅

@rachelkang Visual Studio log console (logcat) SHOULD (must?) have filterable columns : I cannot search error only. It doesn’t help at all. Visual Studio must be the best experience to develop MAUI app. But it doesn’t feel like it is. It’s been years developpers wait for such things.
