Updating NuGet packages does not update the app

[mattleibow]

Android application type

.NET Android (net7.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

All

Description

I have noticed that when I update nugets in my maui app, the dll updates do not reach the final device.

Steps to Reproduce

I have a GitHub Action here with a test case script:

• source: https://github.com/mattleibow/maui-bug-repros/blob/repro-android-not-updating/.github/workflows/dotnet.yml
• run: https://github.com/mattleibow/maui-bug-repros/actions/runs/4440605792/jobs/7794616600#step:5:153

1. dotnet new maui
2. dotnet build -f net8.0-android /bl:build-1-initial.binlog
3. dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 13.0.1
4. dotnet build -f net8.0-android /bl:build-1-after-json.binlog
5. dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json --version 13.0.3
6. dotnet build -f net8.0-android /bl:build-1-after-update.binlog
7. (Get-Item obj\Debug\net8.0-android\android\assets\Newtonsoft.Json.dll).VersionInfo

The output of 7. is still 13.0.1

Did you find any workaround?

Rebuild

Oh snap, this test is disabled in .NET 6+:

https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/blob/0e4c29aabb2af023d3ff66f02d42c2b487575d85/src/Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks/Tests/Xamarin.Android.Build.Tests/BuildTest.cs#L984-L988

It must have been broken because it uses Xamarin.Forms.

So something maybe has been wrong here since .NET 6?

I'll update that test to make use of say NewtonSoft.Json it probably doesn't need to be Xamrain.Forms
