Error in CSharpShellCore.Utils.get_Assets() ?

[Alisis33]

The code to access a file in assets folder has not changed, but the Maui version crashes on program start. The text could not be copied, the text below is a OCR and could have errors. I am not sure yet what caused the error exactly.

App crashed

Most of the methods under CSharpShellCore.Utils abstract away stuff using the current Activity, which will be null before it is opened there. I will make the Assets property work without that, though.

Not work in 3.2.34

It should work and did so when I tested it last month. Unfortunately it seems like I deleted the test project so I can't reconfirm. At which point in the startup cycle are you trying to access assets? To clarify, you need to update the APK plugin and then rebuild said app.

No, wait. You are using an old pre .NET 7 build of the IDE? I'm not 99% certain the plugin existed then, however updating it wouldn't work since the IDE and it will have different BCL.
