While trying to run my Xamarin.Forms application on an Android device, I am getting a "Java.exe exited with code 1" error. I have been trying to implement authentication using Azure AD B2C and I have to add the above quoted code to the Android Manifest.

Quite unfortunately, I know that it is the one causing the compilation error because when I remove it, the app compiles but of course, doesn't work properly in the end.

How do I fix this?

I have tried to comb through the build logs and I suppose the error has something to do with my dependencies in the project file. I will post it here.

Delete your code from the manifest and Try Replacing it with this class. In your android project create a class name MsalActivity and add this;


    [Activity]
    [IntentFilter(new[] { Intent.ActionView },
         Categories = new[] { Intent.CategoryBrowsable, Intent.CategoryDefault },
         DataHost = "auth",
         DataScheme = "msal37a0fb96-9bf2-4c63-a5e0-942ade68b351")]
    public class MsalActivity : BrowserTabActivity
    {
    }

I did face the exact same problem just yesterday after setting up MSAL authentication for my Xamarin.Forms application. What solved the problem for me was changing the android:targetSdkVersion to 30 or lower. It was originally 31.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" package="com.companyname.xamarindemowithb2c">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="21" android:targetSdkVersion="30" />
    <application android:label="MSALSample.Android" android:theme="@style/MainTheme">
        <activity android:name="microsoft.identity.client.BrowserTabActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />               
                <data android:scheme="msal<YourClientId>" android:host="auth"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>"
    </application>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
</manifest>

After changing it from 31 to 30 or lower, the solution would build and could be successfully deployed to the emulator and my phone.
