[Google Play] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: aewt

stesvis

Hello,

during these last 10 days I haven't been able to publish my android app to google play. When I go to the Pre-launch report details, they always report a crash and here are the details:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: aewt

The device is almost always a Huawei P8 or a Nokia with Android 5.0, but I also got the same results with a Nokia + Android 8.
I don't understand this exception, and Firebase is not installed. It used to pass their review all the time till a couple of weeks ago.
Could be due to some VS updates?

I have no idea at this point, but i am blocked and can't publish the android app anymore.

I am running into the same problem, I did nothing other than update Visual Studio and Xamarin Dependencies.
