Building a binding NuGet package does not include JAR files - use of the package results in java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError #10481
Description
Android framework version
net9.0-android
Affected platform version
VSCode 1.104.0, .NET 9.x, .NET 10.0.100-rc.1.25451.107
Description
The same problem as described in #9974 - dependent JAR files are not included in the NuGet package. AAR files are.
This is causing the same error and crash as described in the referenced issue when the binding NuGet is consumed - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
This happened using the .NET 9 SDK and earlier versions of VSCode so it’s not a .NET 10 regression per se.
This is a problem for package authors trying to update their packages to comply with the Google Play 16 KB requirement, which has a deadline coming.
Steps to Reproduce
Get the reproduction sample:
dotnet build -c Releaseunzip -l ./bin/Release/com.yourcompany.SomeAndroidBinding.1.0.0.nupkg | grep kronos-java-0.0.1-alpha11.jar
Expected: The JAR file is included in the NuGet package and shown.
Actual: The JAR file is not included.
Note: running unzip -l ./bin/Release/com.yourcompany.SomeAndroidBinding.1.0.0.nupkg | grep kronos-android-0.0.1-alpha11.aar shows the AAR file as included.
