Android debugging options disappeared after updating Visual Studio?

Update: This bug was fixed in an update to Visual Studio 17.4.

In case your #Android #debugging options disappeared after the latest #VisualStudio updates… https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Android-Options-Gone-After-Updating-to-1/10910189

And here’s the fix to make to your project file:

Original order that broke this:

    <TargetFrameworks>net9.0-maccatalyst;net9.0-ios;net9.0-android;</TargetFrameworks>

Changed order to have Android first and .net 9.0 next – otherwise unit tests break??? – and restarted VS (WHY did this make a difference??)

    <TargetFrameworks>net9.0-android;net9.0;net9.0-maccatalyst;net9.0-ios;</TargetFrameworks>
