runs only in 'debug' mode

Eduard Kaufmann 251

I found lots of issues (google browsing) re 'running only in debug mode'!
However, I cannot figure out what to do in my case.

PS: I obviously cannot debug without debugging!?!

Your help is appreciated, ed

I'm on VS 17.13 .net Maui W11

when running in 'debug' mode (with or without breakpoints): all works fine

When running 'start without debugging' :
The correct screen comes up --> 'MainPage'
When picking a picture to get the 'DetailsPage' - after a while it returns to VS to same page as when I started.
NO error msg!

the debug build uses the maui interpreter, while release build uses compile to native AOT and trimming. native AOT is more restricted than the interpreter and trimming can cause required code to be removed. You can disable these features at a performance cost (memory size and speed).

it is important to have internal diagnostics and logging to help "debug" release code.

note: in a normal .net app the difference between debug and release is compiler optimizations performed, rather than a completely different compiler.
