CI Failure Analysis: AOT Integration Tests

The AOT integration tests (AOT windows and AOT macOS) are failing with error XAGNALLAS7009 — this is an Android SDK bug, not a MAUI issue.

Error

error XAGNALLAS7009: System.InvalidOperationException: Internal error: 
assembly 'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.resources.dll' lacks RuntimeIdentifier metadata

Stack trace points to Xamarin.Android.Tasks.MonoAndroidHelper.GetAssemblyRid() → GenerateNativeAotLibraryLoadAssemblerSources.RunTask() in Microsoft.Android.Sdk.NativeAOT.targets(214,5).

Root Cause

The crash occurs because satellite resource assemblies (e.g., ar/Microsoft.Maui.Controls.resources.dll) don't have RuntimeIdentifier metadata, and the Android SDK's NativeAOT task doesn't handle this case.

This is specific to the bleeding-edge Android SDK on net11.0:

Branch	Android SDK Version	AOT Android Tests
main	36.1.2 (stable)	✅ Pass
net11.0	36.1.99-ci.main.174 (CI build)	❌ XAGNALLAS7009

The same PublishNativeAOTRootAllMauiAssemblies test cases with Android RIDs (android-arm64, android-x64) pass on main with the stable SDK but fail on net11.0 with the CI SDK.

Why This Surfaces Now

On net11.0, AOTTemplateTest previously had no Android test cases — only iOS, macCatalyst, and Windows. PR #33756 on main added the Android NativeAOT test cases. This merge brings those test cases into net11.0 for the first time, where they hit the SDK bug.

Fix

This is already fixed upstream in dotnet/android (commit 9198f638) which adds a workaround to stamp RuntimeIdentifier metadata on assemblies that lack it. Our pinned SDK (36.1.99-ci.main.174) is 10 commits behind this fix.

✅ Merging #34314 will resolve this — that Maestro PR bumps the Android SDK from .174 → .217, which includes the fix.
