Android APK crashes on startup - TypeConverter cannot convert from System.Byte[] in Splash.InitializeComponent() #3620
Description
What I've accomplished:
✓ Successfully built MissionPlannerLib.sln for Android
✓ Generated APK/AAB from ExtLibs/Xamarin/Xamarin.Android/Xamarin.Android.csproj
✓ APK installs on device without issues
✓ All native libraries load correctly (libmonosgen, libgdal, libgstreamer_android)
The Problem:
App crashes immediately on startup with:
System.NotSupportedException: TypeConverter cannot convert from System.Byte[].
at MissionPlanner.Splash.InitializeComponent () [0x0025e]
at MissionPlanner.Splash..ctor ()
at MissionPlanner.Program.Start (System.String[] args)
This appears to be Windows Forms .resx resources (likely images/icons) failing to deserialize on Android.
Any guidance on the correct approach to building a working Android APK would be appreciated!
