[mono-android] VS not recognizing manifest for my application after code restructuring

[Tossing, Chris]

I just did a significant restructuring of our codebase, and Visual Studio is now not recognizing our android application project as a deployable project.  It is also not recognizing the AndroidManifest.xml file when I go to the project property pages, and when I click the "Click to add one" link, it crashes Visual Studio.

I checked the project file, and it is still marked as <AndroidApplication>true</AndroidApplication>.

I did a compare with the previous version, and the only thing I changed in the project file that I'm seeing might be related is that I modified the RootNamespace and AssemblyName.  I tried modifying the AndroidManifest.xml file to set the PackageName to the same value as the AssemblyName (they were in sync prior to my restructuring) just in case that was the problem, but it didn't appear to have any effect.

How does Visual Studio determine if a project is deployable?  (I know it has to have the AndroidApplication set to true, but there is obviously something else preventing deploy at present)

Thank you for your help.
