Exact same problem here with Android 13 and MAUI 8.0.3

[AnnYang01]

Verified this on Visual Studio Enterprise 17.9.0 Preview 2 (.Net8.0). Repro on Android 14.0-API34 with below project.
MauiApp1.zip

I'm getting this error too. Our page is similar to a survey where it is defined by a admin who lays out the questions and answers. If you get enough of the checkboxes on the UI the app hangs/crashes.

According to my tests, this error doesn't even need the color to be set to occur. Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new Maui project using the template
2. Remove the Checkbox styling from Styles.xaml (to prove the point)
3. Add <Checkbox/> to MainPage.xaml
4. Run app in debug mode in Android emulator
5. Observe the error

Workaround working for me to stop the exception:

1. Download Colorstates of checkbox from material-components
2. Change android:color="@xxxx" to android:color="#FFFFFF"
   The color does not matter.
3. Add a new Folder color to Platforms/Android/Resources
4. Add the two xml files with Build Action "AndroidResource"

[last-Programmer]

@Larhei i tried and i get the error invalid file path. API2144 for this files during the build

[Larhei]

In my cspro
<ItemGroup> <None Remove="Platforms\Android\Resources\color\m3_checkbox_button_icon_tint.xml" /> <None Remove="Platforms\Android\Resources\color\m3_checkbox_button_tint.xml" /> </ItemGroup>

Worked for me with maui 8.0.6 and vs 17.8.4 and dont forget to clean your bin/xxx/Android folder ;-)

[last-Programmer]

@Larhei thanks

Add a new Folder colors to Platforms/Android/Resources

i created the colors folder instead of color. all good now. i am not getting the exception now. thanks a lot for the heads up.

This hasn't been fixed yet...

4. Add the two xml files with Build Action "AndroidResource"

Thanks for this. Worked like a charm. I didn't need to add lines to my .csproj file. Just adding the files to Platforms/Android/Resources/color and settings the items to android:color="#FFFFFF" was enough. I didn't set the build action to AndroidResource either. That isn't available. Running VS 17.8.5 and Maui 8.0.6.

This work around is still required in 9.0.100-preview.5.24307.3 visualstudio 17.11.0 preview 2.1

[OnClickListener2048]

worked like a charm!

Shoutout to Larhei! I hope someone gives him/her/them a cookie! I did not need step 4, but the first three resolved the issue for me.
