When you try building a Maui Blazor Hybrid Solution, in .NET 8, you might encounter a peculiar issue :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nCannot deploy the solution, please select deploy in the Configuration Manager<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
And if you click OK afterwards, you can see in the error list that it complains about a .ttf file. In my case OpenSans-Regular.ttf<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
After searching the web and interrogating Chatgpt and Microsoft Copilot like a Soviet counter intelligence agent, I finally figured it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Android doesn’t like “-” in names<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The first step was to rename the font file by removing the “-” in the filename. That allowed me to move to the second level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Correcting the file name got rid of the error in the error list but I got a bunch of them afterwards, which means in software development : you’re moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The subsequent errors were about splash screen and how Visual Studio couldn’t find the splash.svg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you look at the path it’s looking for, you can see that it contains your application name : com.companyname.whatevernameyourapplicationhas. I’m not entirely sure about this one but apparently, the whole package name can only be 50 characters so you need to change it in your android manifest.xml<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving on to the boss because the last fix still doesn’t allow you to launch your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s an entry missing in your csproj. That is the most surprising of them all but here it is :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<MauiSplashScreen><\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you add this in your csproj… Tadaa it builds and launches your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy developing <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
