When I try to compile and run the MAUI project, I get an APT2000 error

I am in the process of developing my mobile application on MAUI. I've recently finished some of the development on my home PC, and I uploaded the project to the GitHub repository. After some time, I decided to continue working on the project on my laptop. My laptop was not configured for android emulation, so I did everything as per the tutorial: enabled Hyper-V components, in the Visual Studio 2022 Tools tab -> Android -> Android SDK Manager. After opening the Android SDK Manager, I installed the following components (screenshot 1): screenshot 1 (I apologize for most of the interface being Russian, but I will try to translate it when necessary)

After installing the emulator, I proceeded to set up the device that I will emulate. I chose the default option, i.e. Pixel 5 on Android 13. I didn't change anything in its settings. After installing this image, I decided to run the project, but I was constantly getting APT2000 error, even if I connected my phone via USB.

I tried reinstalling the Android emulator and also reinstalling the emulated device. I tried uninstalling and downloading the project from GitHub and launching it. I tried running the project and emulating it through my Android phone.

I expected that the project would start (i.e. it opens the application on the emulated device and displays the interface and application logic), but it did not work.

Solution

  • I solved my problem by posting an issue on GitHub in the official MAUI repository. You can read the full answer here.

    In short, it was because my projects folder had the path C:\Users\MyUserName\OneDrive\Desktop\Projects\MyAppName. As you may have noticed, my desktop is located in the OneDrive folder. Moving the Projects folder to the root of my C drive solved the problem and my project started. Apparently this is somehow related to another issue about the project path containing non-ASCII characters, at least that's what I was told in the response to my issue on GitHub.

    To summarize: check your project path, and if you get the same error, try moving the projects folder to the root of your C drive, and run the project from there.
