Cannot download/update to ios version 12.2.0 due to missing file

[Mataboge]

Tried updating to the latest version 12.2.0, visual studio complains about not finding the file below. Tried to manually edit the .csproj and do a restore (cleared cache, restore on command line), it give the error below when i build. I went to the specified path i realised that the file 'arm64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftdoc' is not there. how do i proceed?

The Error message
Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\UserName\.nuget\packages\xamarin.facebook.sharekit.ios\12.2.0\lib\xamarinios10\Facebook.ShareKit.resources\FBSDKShareKit.xcframework\ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator\FBSDKShareKit.framework\Modules\FBSDKShareKit.swiftmodule\arm64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftdoc'.

Hi there,
I am facing with this problem yet... neither from VS or command line. The error is below, when I try to install Xamarin.Facebook.iOS 12.2.0.1:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\marcelo_oliveira.nuget\packages\xamarin.facebook.sharekit.ios\12.2.0.1\lib\xamarinios10\Facebook.ShareKit.resources\FBSDKShareKit.xcframework\ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator\FBSDKShareKit.framework\Modules\FBSDKShareKit.swiftmodule\arm64.swiftinterface'.

Is I install all the libraries asked to install (4), I cant update as well... So, How to update it ??? I thing we have here a real problem... I need to update to be able to use our app in iOS 14.

Any perspective to solve that ?

Thanks.

I can't say this is your problem, but something that could be a problem on windows: https://superuser.com/questions/1119883/windows-10-enable-ntfs-long-paths-policy-option-missing
Windows by default doesn't allow file names and paths greater than 256 characters, which your paths are.

The easiest way to test this is to move your nuget directory to the root of your C:\ drive and see if that fixes the issue.

I hope this helps.

p.s.
For some packages (not this one), I have only been able to install them from VS for Mac. No idea why.

directory length definitely seems to be a problem. I got around many failures by shortening my path to "C:.npak" but now it's failing on:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:.npak\xamarin.facebook.gamingserviceskit.ios\12.2.0.1\lib\net6.0-ios15.4\Xamarin.Facebook.GamingServicesKit.resources\FBSDKGamingServicesKit.xcframework\ios-arm64_armv7\FBSDKGamingServicesKit.framework\Modules\FBSDKGamingServicesKit.swiftmodule\armv7-apple-ios.swiftdoc'.

That path is 272 characters so there's no way this'll install on Windows since I can't make my path much shorter.

Is the nuget package Xamarin.Facebook.iOS restricted to only being installed on Macs? If so, that needs to be documented. If not, this will need to be addressed and, hopefully, include more Windows testing because this clearly hasn't ever been tried. I'd also hope that, if you're fixing this, you fix all the other long path issues, if possible, because having all users modify their default nuget path is rough.
