Verified this issue with Visual Studio 17.10 Preview 6.0 (8.0.21), I can repro this error using a physical Android device (Samsung Android 13.0), but on the Android emulator it works fine.

@jaosnz-rep can you attach your repro please?

I attached the Log and Output as follows

I created a default .NET MAUI project to reproduce this error. The size is 96M and cannot be attached here. I can upload it to OneDrive if you need it.

@jaosnz-rep You don't need to upload the bin/obj folders, you just need to upload the source code, preferably to a GitHub repo, as described in the note when making the issue.

Also, if you could try doing what you're doing in a .NET Android app that doesn't implement that MAUI UI framework (You can create one using the CLI command dotnet new android) and try your code there, that would be great. My guess based on your description is that what you're doing would break any Android app, not just ones using the MAUI UI framework controls.

I tried it on .NET Android project and it also reproduces on physical Android device.
