Vs-2022 doesn't offer me the distribution channel Google Play as VS-2019 does


I have a Android project and made changes to the targeted Android version.

  • I made a rebuild.
  • I archived the build
  • Now I wanted to start the distribution

But the current display shows a grayed out Google Play Distribution.

Using VS-2019 I can open the build from the archive and I can launch the distribution via Google Play. I successfully uploaded the App as an Alpha-Build.

What do I miss in VS-2022 (installed on the same machine)?

current display shows a grayed out Google Play Distribution


Solution

  • According to Xamarin Android Distribution, you need to change the project properties -> Android Options and change the Android Package Format from apk to bundle.
