Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

You can try the following code, it works on my side:

       string packageName = "Camera2Basic.Camera2Basic";  

       button.Click += delegate {  
            try  
            {  

                PackageManager pm = Android.App.Application.Context.PackageManager;  

                if (IsAppInstalled(packageName))  
                {  

                    Intent intent = pm.GetLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);  
                    if (intent != null)  
                    {  

                        intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);  
                        Android.App.Application.Context.StartActivity(intent);  
                    }  
                }  

                else  
                {  

                    Intent intent = pm.GetLaunchIntentForPackage("Camera2Basic.Camera2Basic");  
                    if (intent != null)  
                    {  

                        intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);  
                        Android.App.Application.Context.StartActivity(intent);  
                    }  
                }  
            }  
            catch (ActivityNotFoundException)  
            {  
               
            }  

        };  

Best Regards,
