无法在设备上部署（Android MarshMallow Asus Zenfone 3）

Question

I have a weird problem.

It happens on any xamarin project (Xamarin forms project in my case). I can run it on my Android api 22 (Samsung Core prime) and on a simulator but I cannot deploy it on my Android api 23 (Asus Zenfone 3). I get Index was outside the bounds of the array in the error panel. I tried on my mac and on my pc. If I remember well, I was able to deploy on my Zenfone before an update. After that, there is no way

This is what I get in the output panel :

[E:]:                     
Deployment failed System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.    
at Mono.AndroidTools.AndroidInstalledPackage..ctor(String value)    
at Mono.AndroidTools.Internal.AdbOutputParsing.ParseLastResortPackageList(String output)    
at Mono.AndroidTools.AndroidDevice.<>c__DisplayClass65_0.<GetPackagesLastResort>b__0(Task`1 t)    
at System.Threading.Tasks.ContinuationResultTaskFromResultTask`2.InnerInvoke()    
at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()

In the diagnostic panel, I have among other (maybe) normal things :

-- End Broadcast --
[D:RunShellCommand]:   GBAXGY16K66457B cat /data/system/packages.xml
-- Start GetPackages - 04/15/2017 23:34:34 (14.1293ms) --
[INPUT] cat /data/system/packages.xml
[OUTPUT]
/system/bin/sh: cat: /data/system/packages.xml: **Permission denied**
-- End GetPackages --
[D:RunShellCommand]:   GBAXGY16K66457B cat /dbdata/system/packages.xml
-- Start GetPackages - 04/15/2017 23:34:34 (14.5395ms) --
[INPUT] cat /dbdata/system/packages.xml
[OUTPUT]
/system/bin/sh: cat: /dbdata/system/packages.xml: **No such file or directory**
-- End GetPackages --

Rooting my phone is not an option I would like to consider. I would prefer sending it back and buy another one if there is no option. Is it a Xamarin bug? Can I solve this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Somebody answered my question on another forum. I share it here. It looks like that this is a problem related to another app installed on the device. Auto-start Manager blocks the Mono Shared Runtime. Open the setting and disable all possible blocks. Now it should work

Answer 2

Try this:

Go to Mobile Manager ->

Settings Menu ->

Disable option: Automatically deny automatic application startup.

good luck!
