Updated VS and now cannot debug app?
Member ✭✭✭
Hey everyone, I had this problem in the past with the preview version of Visual Studio, and rather than dig into it just went back to the regular version of VS.
I got a message saying that I had to update, and now that I updated VS I am getting this odd issue with attempting to debug my app.
Here is the results in the output window

I can see that there is something going on with the sqlite library, but nothing has been changed in my code, and it worked fine previous to the update.
Can anyone please give me an idea on what to do to fix this? I can run the code fine as a release build, but debugging is completely dead.
I will try to compile all my logs and post them in a few minutes.
Any help desperately appreciated!
Danke!
Cheers!

To be able to proceed with work and be able to debug, I de-installed my vs community 16.5.0 and reinstalled 16.4.5 completely.

@AntonioStan.2954 I just tried updating to the 16.4.5 Community version and it actually seems to be working for me now. Perhaps try using a deep clean tool (wipe out all BIN and OBJ ) folders and give it another shot?
I'm able to build, deploy, and debug now with build 16.5.4.
Best of luck!0

I updated my VS 2019 Enterprise Edition to 16.5.0 version and now the debugger will not stop at any breakpoint.
Yikes! I'll post this over on the VS blog from MS... This is definitely not acceptable. I understand this is the community version so I don't expect the same support and reliability as the enterprise level, but it should at least function...
I'll update this thread if I get any feedback from MS.
In an effort to debug my problem, I have tried eliminating the libraries that the errors were being reported on, but once I remove one lib and attempt to build and debug, it reports another one, I get the impression that this appears to be something along the lines, that the debugger is using LINQ to build a list of debug symbols from the library, but is failing to get the list. This is resulting in the failure, so that when I remove the one lib, it catches on the following one that it encounters.
I have tried installing and testing using the preview build 16.6.0 and have the same experience.
I have this posted on the visual studio forum, and will share what results I get there, but so far have not heard anything back.
did you solve friend? same problem here

@JKnott Thanks for posting about this. I upgraded to VS 16.5 today and now get this as well.
@Cybersheep I'll follow your lead and downgrade.
please how to downgrade community version?
same problem here, when trying to debug from windows in an ios simulator

@Ed_S Sadly that's the only fix I have found...
Someone with MS said there was a fix in the latest builds of visual studio, but I have tried all of the stable and preview builds as of last night as still have the same problem.
I'm going to have to stick to the older release myself as well. If you see a fix please update this thread, I'll try to do the same.
Cheers!

The easiest way to downgrade is to download the version you want (16.4.5) from here
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/history
You will need to download the Professional version, and when you install, you will have to stop the professional installation and select the community version, which will be an option.
When I did it, the installer immediately launches into the selection of options for the professional installation. I clicked the "X" at the top right of that selection page, and had the normal option to choose between Enterprise, Professional, and Community.
Best of luck friend!
Cheers!
This solution (Developer community VisualStudio "problem 873127") worked for me:
I have a iOS project:
Since the current solution is to downgrade to 16.4.X, has anyone updated to 16.5.4 to see if the problem is resolved? Nothing in the Release Notes suggests that it was addressed.
I have tried everything from reinstalling VS to deleting the .mdb files to creating a new project, but debugging always fails in 16.5.X. 16.4.6 is working for me, but I'd like to be able to get updates/features. Anyone have a bug report to link? Every related issue I found is closed and apparently resolved.
@nimbuster Same issue also on 16.5.4...
