[Question] A way to connect Mono Debugger for the Release builds

[JaneySprings]

Android application type

.NET Android (net7.0-android, net8.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

.NET 8+

Description

Hi! I'm a creator of .NET Meteor extension for VSCode. My extension has a Debug in Release feature that allows you to connect the mono debugger for the release apps (with trimming and AOT). It's very useful in some scenarios, when application crushes only in the release mode.

For example:

For iOS and Mac I use the _BundlerDebug=true option. Maybe there is an analog for Android?

Steps to Reproduce

1. dotnet build -c:Release
2. adb shell setprop debug.mono.connect port=10000
3. adb shell am start ...
4. Trying to connect with Mono.Debugging.Soft.ISoftDebuggerConnectionProvider.BeginConnect

E/adbd    : failed to connect to socket 'tcp:10000': Connection refused

Did you find any workaround?

I know that I can use adb logcat, but this way is more convenient for me.
