Description

Hi,

I have a problem with android on .NET version 8. I have empty lists in Android Target Framework. Even on a freshly created project.

In .NET8, for iOS, and Windows, it seems correct In .NET7 everything works correctly, I have the choice between Android versions.

I have this on 3 different PCs.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create à .NET MAUI project in .NET8
2. Go to properties on the solution
3. Check combobox "Android Target Framework"
4. The combobox is empty

I think the problem is resolved, and we are waiting for an update : Link to VS support

I don't see the problem resolved. I see the empty Target Android Framework and empty Minimum Android Framework drop-down list in VS2022 17.8.3 project properties after I select net8.0. I tried adding Platform PropertyGroup net8.0-android33.0 (34.0) directly to the project file. Got a kitchen sink of build errors.

When I select back net7.0 Target Android Framework and Minimum Android Framework lists are populated again, and I can restore selections. and build the project after I restart VS2022. I'd happily use net7.0 as I do for iOS. But Android .net7.0 has issues supposedly fixed in net8.0. I can't use net8.0 for Android at all. Nothing to smile about.

yes it is fixed but not yet deployed "A fix for this issue has been internally implemented and is being prepared for release. We’ll update you once it becomes available for download."

When on earth will it be released? I'm waiting anxiously for it. I also encountered this issue and now I can't submit to Google Play.

I don't know.

I'm not yet in deploy phase, but i found this : in and combo are not empty !

According to the linked VS Feedback item this should have been resolved. If not, please report it through Visual Studio in the Help menu, > Provide Feedback, Report a Problem. That will route it to the right team. Thanks!
