[Bug] Error when archiving Xamarin Form iOS app for deployment to App Store

[hro-it]

Description

Attempting to archive package for deployment to App Store for review. Archive is erroring out with complaint of Xamarin Forms control not being assigned the appropriate metadata or indicators required to comply with build. App builds and deploys to devices alright, but archiving is broken.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Archive project? Not sure what is specific about my project.

Expected Behavior

Archive completes successfully.

Workaround

[jfversluis]

What version of Xamarin.iOS are you using? Which version of Visual Studio?

[hro-it]

Using VS 17.4.0 Community and Xamarin.iOS 16.0.0.92

[hro-it]

Updated to VS 17.4.1 and that seemed to do the trick... lol.

This issue is creeping back up with VS 17.4.1.
