Xamarin Android Visual Studio 2019 Deploy Succeeded but does not start application

Question

Application builds with no error and Visual Studio shows Deploy Succeeded in output but doesn't start on device. No errors in logic, so not sure what the issue is. Target api 30, device is api 25. Not finding much information elsewhere on what could be the root cause, tried running as admin, checked all options in Android Options -> Advanced -> Supported Architecture, updated Jdk path at a loss... tried on multiple devices as well as emulator.

Answer 1

I once had the exact same problem. In my case, the problem was, that in the AndroidManifest.xml file, there were two '<application' sections. After removing one of the sections, the app started without problems. Don't know if this is your case, but maybe it will help someone.
