iTunesArtwork missing

[murphymj5209]

I am on a Mac with VS 2019 doing a compile in debug or release mode but using iPhone; the iPhoneSimulator works OK and i receive the following message:

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/iOS/Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets(3,3): Error: '/Users/MM/Documents/GitHub/MOrtho/src/MOrtho.iOS/iTunesArtwork' not found. (MOrtho.iOS)

I have changed the properties of the iTunesArtwork to always copy. Any idea for this problem?

There's an issue with the template where the iTunesArtwork and iTunesArtwork@2x files, which are image files without an extension in the filename, don't end up in exactly the correct place. Instead of being in the root iOS directory (MOrtho.iOS in your case) they end up nested in sub-directories.

The workaround is to move the files to the right place. In your example, you should find the files at MOrtho.iOS\iTunesArtwork\MOrtho\src\MOrtho.iOS\iTunesArtwork, and MOrtho.iOS\iTunesArtwork@2x\MOrtho\src\MOrtho.iOS\iTunesArtwork@2x. Move those files from their nested positions into the MOrtho.iOS directory and delete the iTunesArtwork and iTunesArtwork@2x sub-directories. After doing that, it's probably worth confirming that both files still have the iTunesArtwork build action. Then the project should build fine.

The issue should be resolved with new projects generated using release v1.9.0+. For an existing project, the steps suggested by @lukepothier in moving the files back to the root directory should resolve the issue.

Due to the iTunesArtwork files not having any file extensions MSBuild was duplicating the path inside the NuGet packaged version published in the VSIX. Which was why this only affected the VSIX version of MvxScaffolding and not the dotnet new templates.

Thank you everyone very much for the fix.
