Describe the bug

If I create a new MAUI project using the CLI and then create a solution file and add the project to the solution, then the Visual Studio Configuration Manager shows that the solution is only configured for Build (in both Debug and Release configurations), but it is not selected for Deploy.

This is a problem because as a result hitting "Run with Debugging" in VS for an android target (and I assume for an ios target, too) will not actually deploy and debug the project. Instead the build window shows:

2>------ Skipped Deploy: Project: maui2, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
2>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration

Manually right-clicking on the solution and checking the "Deploy" checkbox for the configuration(s) makes it work, but it is not obvious that is what is required.

Compare these two .sln files.

This is what you get from dotnet sln add:


Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio Version 17
VisualStudioVersion = 17.0.31903.59
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1
Project("{9A19103F-16F7-4668-BE54-9A1E7A4F7556}") = "maui2", "maui2.csproj", "{3BE1E2A0-90E0-4D42-92B2-D7CDDA300CEE}"
EndProject
Global
        GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
                Debug|Any CPU = Debug|Any CPU
                Release|Any CPU = Release|Any CPU
        EndGlobalSection
        GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
                {3BE1E2A0-90E0-4D42-92B2-D7CDDA300CEE}.Debug|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU
                {3BE1E2A0-90E0-4D42-92B2-D7CDDA300CEE}.Debug|Any CPU.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU
                {3BE1E2A0-90E0-4D42-92B2-D7CDDA300CEE}.Release|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Release|Any CPU
                {3BE1E2A0-90E0-4D42-92B2-D7CDDA300CEE}.Release|Any CPU.Build.0 = Release|Any CPU
        EndGlobalSection
        GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
                HideSolutionNode = FALSE
        EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal

And this is what you get if you click the 'Deploy' checkboxes:

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00

                {3BE1E2A0-90E0-4D42-92B2-D7CDDA300CEE}.Release|Any CPU.Deploy.0 = Release|Any CPU
        EndGlobalSection
        GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
                HideSolutionNode = FALSE
        EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal

To Reproduce

  1. Install .NET 8.0 SDK or a .NET 9 Preview SDK
  2. Install the MAUI workload
  3. mkdir maui2 and cd maui2
  4. dotnet new maui -f net8.0
  5. dotnet new sln
  6. dotnet sln maui2.sln add .\maui2.csproj
  7. open the resulting project in Visual Studio 2022 (I have 17.11 Preview 3, but probably 17.10 has the same behavior)
  8. select an appropriate x86-64 android emultator
  9. hit F5 or click "Run with Debugging"
  10. Observe the error from above
  11. Right click on the solution and click "Configuration Manager" and check the "Deploy" checkboxes
  12. hit F5
  13. App is running in the android emulator

Checking if this affects the .NET MAUI extension in VS Code. They don't have a Configuration Manager UI and I think VS Code users are much more likely to use the CLI

Nope .NET MAUI extension in VS Code doesn't seem to care about "Deploy". So it's just VS 2022 that's affected

To preface, I don't really know anything about MAUI, but from my understanding of this issue, there doesn't seem to be a problem here (meaning that both tools, dotnet CLI and VS, are working as intended).

  • dotnet sln add will only ever add the project with the default Debug and Release configurations. There's not a mechanism for it to be aware of other configurations.
  • Visual Studio has a vastly different understanding of the "state of a solution", so it might have some kind of logic for MAUI projects to be aware that a Deploy configuration would exist. There's nothing of that sort of contextual awareness in the dotnet CLI. As you mentioned, you needed to add the at configuration to the project using the VS Configuration Manager, which is the intended use-case for that dialog.

If you still think there is an issue, I'd recommend filing something over in https://github.com/dotnet/maui and mention this issue there so they can have some context/understanding.
