can't compile on vs for Mac with .net 8 due to missing supporting packages

[michaelonz]

Description

When I compile on VS for MAC I get the following errors in the output before it aborts the build.

Creating directory "obj/Debug/net8.0-ios/ref".

NOTE: I have tried to install all of these nugets - none of them will install they all log the same issue as above.
I also can't update other nugets because of issue above...it errors the same as above when I try and add them.

Steps to Reproduce

I suspect there is some sort of reference or Nuget missing but I don't know what is triggering the compile issue.

Link to public reproduction project repository

Did you find any workaround?

NO I currently can't compile for Mac

Visual Studio for Mac does not officially support .NET 8 as mentioned here.

You will probably want to use VS Code with the .NET MAUI extension or build on Windows. If you try that, please let us know if it works. If not, please add the contents of your csproj file at the very least, ideally the full project so we can have a look.

Hi @michaelonz. We have added the "s/needs-info" label to this issue, which indicates that we have an open question for you before we can take further action. This issue will be closed automatically in 7 days if we do not hear back from you by then - please feel free to re-open it if you come back to this issue after that time.

[michaelonz]

Thanks @jfversluis - does .net maui 8.0 actually work for IOS in vscode? - I vaguely recall looking at that and reading it wouldn't work also?

[jfversluis]

It absolutely does, find the official extension page here and my video about it here.

It is one of the potential replacements for when Visual Studio for Mac is being retired. We on the .NET MAUI team are already using it daily, also for iOS. Let me know how it goes.

I'm a little confused. I'm using VS Mac for compiling and running .NET8 MAUI iOS Apps (and currently using it for 8.0.3 release). It's not terribly fast (even on a Mac Studio) but it does actually work and I don't get any missing package issues.

[michaelonz]

I have loaded vscode and installed the maui add on etc.

But when I compile I am getting the same error as I reported in VS MAC (full visual studio) - the issue is with a subproject I am using.

At this stage I can't compile in either full vs (I understand that's not longer supported with v8) but I also have the same compile issue on vs code.
So at this stage I can't compile on either.

Hi Guys - I tried something else.... I created a brand new maui project from inside vscode and that has exactly the same compile issue as what I detailed above - so I don't think it's project specific ...... totally at a loss as to what it might be at this stage but I basically can't even run a hello world at this stage on IOS either.

[michaelonz]

Just thought I would also add that this project compiles fine in visual studio on windows and runs fine on android - so I suspect it’s somehow environment related but I don’t even reference the things it’s complaining about - after any tips on what
I should be checking - at a loss at this stage… I can’t work on iOS app at all.

[michaelonz]

Hi guys - I managed to get this to work (in full visual studio) - it turned out I had iOS 17.2 selected in my project but my test phone was still on 14.6 - I also had the wrong frameworks in the project file - once they all lined up it started working again.

You can close this issue ( although adding a good compile failure message might save others some time )
