Android application type

.NET Android (net7.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

VS2022 net7

Description

I found a MonoRuntimeProvider in final AndroidManifest.xml

</activity>
    <provider android:name="mono.MonoRuntimeProvider" android:exported="false" android:initOrder="1999999999" android:authorities="coloryr.colormc.android.mono.MonoRuntimeProvider.__mono_init__" />
    <provider android:name="mono.MonoRuntimeProvider_1" android:exported="false" android:initOrder="1999999998" android:process=":game" android:authorities="coloryr.colormc.android.mono.MonoRuntimeProvider_1.__mono_init__" />

I want to remove MonoRuntimeProvider from process :game, cound write some config or command to remove it when building project?

You can probably user the AndroidManifestOverlay as described here https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/blob/41aaf3873f702d260eb20b354ffdbb8884c51984/Documentation/guides/building-apps/build-items.md?plain=1#L142.

That said if your process is written using .net then it won't work without the MonoRuntimeProvider

[Coloryr]

No the

<provider android:name="mono.MonoRuntimeProvider_1" android:exported="false" android:initOrder="1999999998" android:process=":game" android:authorities="coloryr.colormc.android.mono.MonoRuntimeProvider_1.__mono_init__" />

Is auto gen.

<provider android:name="mono.MonoRuntimeProvider_1" android:exported="false" android:initOrder="1999999998" android:process=":game" android:authorities="coloryr.colormc.android.mono.MonoRuntimeProvider_1.__mono_init__" />

from final AndroidManifest?

I know it is auto generated. The AndroidManifestOverlay can help you remove items from the manifest before packaging.
I recommend you read up on the AndroidManifestOverlay link https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/blob/41aaf3873f702d260eb20b354ffdbb8884c51984/Documentation/guides/building-apps/build-items.md?plain=1#L142 and https://developer.android.com/build/manage-manifests#merge-manifests

[Coloryr]

Ok try remove it.

[Coloryr]

It not work.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
		  package="coloryr.colormc.android"
		  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
	<application android:name="coloryr.colormc.load.MainApplication">
		<provider android:name="mono.MonoRuntimeProvider_1" tools:node="remove" />
	</application>
</manifest>

<ItemGroup>
  <AndroidManifestOverlay Include="RemoveNode.xml" />
</ItemGroup>

It can't match?

[Coloryr]

Remove other thing is work, but remove MonoRuntimeProvider not work.
