.net MAUI Splash screen android error - failed linking file resources

I'm trying to add a splash screen as described in the documentation:

<MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\appsplash.svg" Color="#fff" />

The resource is in the appropriate directory with the 'MauiSplashScreen' Build Action

enter image description here enter image description here

Works fine debugging on windows but trying to build/debug on android gives the following errors:

Error   APT2061 failed linking file resources.
Error   APT2260 resource drawable/appsplash (aka appname:drawable/appsplash) not found.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • It was the format of the SVG; not sure what was wrong with the format exactly but adding a different SVG solved the issue
