Android: Can only package for Shipping but not for Debug/Development (open descriptor failed for *.uproject)

Since I am using AAB and bundletool in order to package for Google Play Console for Shipping Distribution with a File Size larger than 150MB, the Engine is not able to package for Debug/Development anymore. I tried to just package as APK with everything in it, but as soon as I install, the APK reports the common UE Packaging Error:
“Failed to open descriptor file for *.uproject”

In General, I am quite disappointed as a Developer that this Error Message appears in a lot of other cases as well without any further Info. I assume if there is just a minimum broken in the package this Error appears. I expect to have a bit more detailed information in this Error Message, but there is none other than this single line which is not helpful at all.

So what do you suggest to narrow down the Packaging Error?

Running into the same problem, for me I just upload it to my testtrack on Google console and see if everything is fine, though that is kinda of a workaround

Did look into my log just now and saw something that might explain it;
the UseExternalFilesDir gets overriden and set to false.
