I have an app that I started using the out of the box MAUI project template. I have been running it on both a local Android emulator and a remote Mac emulator. It had been working on both, and then today after running it on Android for a while, I changed the debugger to use the Mac emulator. It immediately refused to compile, and listed every Android class reference as "type or namespace [blah] could not be found". After playing with several things, I found that if I commented out the "using Java.Net" on the default MainPage.xaml.cs, all of the compiler errors went away. If I uncomment it again, then all 20 something compiler errors show up again. This is the out of the box MainPage.xaml that came with the project template, plus one click event handler that I added - is there some known issue here?
As I said, it was working fine for nearly two weeks, and then just went bananas on me today. Haven't added any nuget packages or anything like that - just been writing code.
Thanks.
You've described the issue in your question:
using "Java.Net" on the default MainPage.xaml.cs.
That won't compile for any platform except Android.
It doesn't exist on the default MainPage.xaml.cs (which you could have verified by creating a new project).
My recommendation: Start over with a fresh project. Add again whatever you added, and see if that using appears again. If it does, you've added something Android specific. Which doesn't make sense, on a cross-platform page.
If using does appear again, and you don't understand why, then add to your question the exact code which, when added to page, causes using Java.net; to appear.
If you were following some example, also add a link to the example web page.
UPDATE
I have a theory about how that using got there:
I bet you added a reference to some class which exists in Java.net namespace.
So Visual Studio gave you an option to add a "using".
If that happens again, and a "using" mentions Android or Java, DON'T add the using, UNLESS you are in a file inside your project's Platforms/Android folder.
Some class names exist both in an Android or Java namespace, and in a .Net or Maui namespace. In cross-platform code, pick the cross-platform using, not the platform-specific one. If they are in different namespaces, they are different classes - even if the names are the same.

Currently I am trying to use Visual Studio Code with Ionide to build a F# Solution. To describe my problem, i first describe what i have done, and what works.
I created a solution with two Projects. One Project is a Queue that contains a F# library. Another project is Queue.Test that is a console application that uses the Queue library, and should contain the Tests for the Queue library.
I'm using .Net6 and created the solution and Project with the dotnet cli tool.
In general, i can build the project with dotnet and i also can use everything in Visual Studio Code. I load the Folder that contains both projects, and Visual Studio Code loads the library.
I am able to edit the Library and my Console application. In my Console application i also can access the Queue and so on. Autocompletion works, and so on.
But, there is one problem. When i add a new function to my library, let's say Queue.help then in my Console application, i cannot see that function. It doesn't show in autocomplete, and when I write code that uses that function i get a compiler error telling me that function doesn't exists.
I can Build/Rebuild from VS Code or from CLI but the problem goes not away.
The only way Ionide starts to see the new function is by building the library AND restarting VS Code. As long i don't restart, it seems to not update the generated dll (i guess).
This is sure annoying, as i don't want to reload/restart VSCode everytime I add a new function to my library.
So my question: How i can I fix this?
What i want is to be able to change my library, and at the same time write tests in the other project and get full Code autocompletion.
Does somebody else have the same problem, or should I change my workflow?
What can i do, to debug this problem on my own?
Some tips?
This issue is fixed by the recent version of Ionide 5.10.1
I am new to Swift and AppCode .
I am trying out existing projects for size and here is a set of interesting ones https://github.com/soapyigu/Swift-30-Projects In particular let's look at Project 28 - SceneDetector.
Here's the App in Xcode
And it works:
Here's the App in AppCode: not even building and no error details.
We get just this:
I have tried to open multiple Apps with AppCode and even create one from scratch. Nothing works at all. What am I misunderstanding? I am using Appcode 2019.3
It is working now! I have completely uninstalled two plugins R4Intellij and Haskell. Note that these were already disabled . Maybe uninstalling these got out of some bad mix of plugins code (disabled notwithstanding) for AppCode?
Debugger works!
Simulator launched from AppCode
Update This does not fix all cases. I am still running into the "Build failed" (without further information) at times.
I am very new to EntityFramework development, not to mention to .NetCore and MVC design pattern, I actually started with .NetCore development with a introduction book to those subjects, I reached a chapter where the autor starts with an MVC project (still using .NetCore 2.0) and do Scaffolding to create the EF model based on a Database previously created, then he jumps to add a controller via wizard, chosing the option that says: "MVC Controller with views, using Entity Framework", but when I do this, a get the error:
"There was an error running the selected code generator: ' Failed to
update dependency information for the project. Please restore the
project and try again."
I tried adding this files manually and detected that this happens when I try (or the wizard tries) to create the view file, either using an empty template or using one of the models, the result is the same.
I thought it was for the NuGet packages that where "asking" for updates, so I updated them, but nothing changed, I recreated the project several times, trying to leave the NuGet packages versions that the autor mentions to install, and to have "everything up to date" but still got the same.
I found another question in here with the same problem, and tried the possible solutions that mentions there, but none worked for me, I even try to install the versions 2.0.0 (or the lowest if there where no version 2.0.0) of the NuGet packages needed (or rather, mentioned by the author), and there was a change, still an error, but a different one, that says that the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Design.targets file needs a value on Configuration...?, still not know what to do, I noticed that updating 3 packages eliminates this error but is going back to the views error.
I don't know what else can I do or how to address this problem.
I finally made it work, although at the end, I don't know what was the problem, what I did was to uninstall all the NuGet packages, then reinstall one by one, chosing the 2.0.0 versions of each one (or the lowest if there was no 2.0.0 version) until there where no sintax errors (by the way, I already had done this, but I don't know what changed) and ended up with 13 packages installed, after verifying that the project builds correctly, I tried again to add via wizard the controller and the view and it threw another error asking to update just two packages (EntityFrameworkcore and EntityFrameworkCore.Design) to versions 2.0.3, after that, I was able to add both the controller and the views with no problem at all and the project still builds correctly.
I'm following this:
http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+for+Android+development
I'm using the Windows x86 ADT bundle, the Windows x86 r9d NDK, and the Gstreamer SDK linked to in the guide.
I was able to get the first tutorial to add native support, build, and run. Then I tried the 3rd tutorial, and Eclipse becomes unresponsive. Same thing happened with the 2nd tutorial. I left it to do it over the weekend in case it just took a long time. When I change anything for another attempt I delete the tutorial folder completely and use a fresh copy from the zip file. I have also remove the ADT bundle completely and started over from scratch.
If I cancel, I have the expected build errors of missing import com.gstreamer.GStreamer;
The GSTREAMER_SDK_ROOT_ANDROID value is set to C:/gstreamer
The NDK Location is C:\android-ndk-r8d
I switched to using r8d as recommended in: Adding Gstreamer support to an android NDK project
One comment also suggests adding to the gstreamer.mk file:
ifndef SYSROOT
SYSROOT := $(NDK_PLATFORMS_ROOT)/$(TARGET_PLATFORM)/arch-$(TARGET_ARCH)
endif
I attempted this but there is a gstreamer_prebuilt.mk file it may be using instead.
My only clue is that Tutorial 1 does not use gstreamer plugins and the tutorials that do not work use plugins.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Edit: I tried using android-ndk-r7c also.
Then I deleted the ADT bundle and tried going the "Use an existing IDE" route, same result.
I'm going to try a different machine, and also see if I can compile it without eclipse, but I would love to hear any guess on what's going on.
Edit2: I watched a youtube video of someone setting this up (as far as I can tell he adds the NDK manually adding a build program and pointing to the ndk-build.cmd file):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKfAELFdf9A
This seemed to work but I was still missing import com.gstreamer.GStreamer; so I closed the tutorial 2 project, built and ran tutorial 1, opened tutorial 2 again, cleaned, built, and it ran.
Problem solved.

I am using Eclipse for Android dev and everything was going fine until I tried to incorporate the facebook SDK. Now when I tried to back it out, there appears to be an artifact left behind that Eclipse tries to link the FB library?!?
[2010-11-17 18:50:22 - Library Project] Unable to set linked path var '_android_com.facebook.android' for library /Users/mobibob/Projects/workspace/facebook-android-sdk/facebook: Path variable name cannot contain character: ..
Any clue where this command / reference is in the build configuration? I have scoured it as best that I can, but I still get the same error.
Problem solved ... as it turns out, it was not so much the Facebook SDK but something that I did in the process of configuring the library reference. I am not entirely certain of how I misconfigured, but I was tweaking the various "path" settings such that, once when the automatic build tried to build my project, an import for android.R was added to my source module. This superseded com.myproject.R and would not resolve the values for resource references.
There were other problems with path order and setting that I modified during the troubleshooting that made it worse. Recreating the project without Facebook was the first step to discovery and fixing.
Either way, the lesson I learned is that the build error messages can misdirect one to the configuration when the problem is in the source code.
