Maui Blazor Hybrid .net7.0-android33.0 Cant sign package

Question

I have a Maui Blazor Hybrid app, it runs on .net7.0 with target framework API 33 android 13. Since I have changed this I cant sign my android app. I can create my keystore file successfully, but as soon as I try and select the file to use, it disappears from the file upload box in the image below.

Package Sign section

I have tried numerous times to re-create the keystore file, I checked the rights on the file, I have updated, uninstalled and reinstalled visual studio. Normal Android .net 7.0 work fine just on .net7.0-adroid33.0

Answer 1

Well, according to your comment, as an answer:

I unchecked the sign package in the Android options section, then once the archive is created I click on distribute and can then successfully create the signature and signage of the package.
