App crashes with Android.Manifest.Permission.WriteExternalStorage

Hi!

I need the WriteExternalStorage permission. However, once I add it to my manifest, my app immediately crashes. It does not even reach OnCreate(...).
As soon as I remove the permission, the app works again, so this is definitely the problem.

Am I doing something wrong? I know I also have to ask for permission at runtime, but I'm not given the chance.

I have tried with and without the shared runtime. It occurs for both release and debug. Have also tried uninstalling everything mono-related from the phone before deplying again.

Here is from the output window:

03-04 12:28:34.673 F/monodroid-assembly(15541): Could not load assembly 'Alumis.Android' during startup registration.
03-04 12:28:34.673 F/monodroid-assembly(15541): This might be due to an invalid debug installation.
03-04 12:28:34.673 F/monodroid-assembly(15541): A common cause is to 'adb install' the app directly instead of doing from the IDE.

Here is from the device log (not sure if it's relevant):
