Xamarin.Shared.Sdk.targets(366,3) MessagingRemoteException, AggregateException and NotImplementedException

Question

I am running this command

dotnet publish -f:net6.0-ios -c:Release

to build a .NET MAUI App and create the .ipa file for iOS (.csproj at the end)

and I get this error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.iOS.Sdk\15.4.303\targets\ Xamarin.Shared.Sdk.targets(366,3) : error : MessagingRemoteException: An error occurred on client Build while executing a reply for topic xvs/build/execute-task/OnesieMobile/ 18e8f3c002fMergeAppBundles [C:\Development_BuildPipeline\OnesieMobile\OnesieMobile\OnesieMobile.csproj]

I was able to successfully do the whole process of publishing an app all the way to my IPhone with the demo .NET MAUI application that comes with the template in Visual Studio 2022.

I was also able to clone and publish this project https://github.com/jfversluis/dotnet-maui-workshop/tree/main/Part%202%20-%20MVVM all the way to my IPhone.

So I thought I start working on my own project.

• It works great when I press the play button in Visual Studio and run it as Windows App on my Windows in the debugger
• It also works great on the remote iOS simulator in the cloud Mac through Visual Studio on my machine. (Although it takes 15 Minutes to fire it up!)

Answer 1

Figured it out.

I had to change

<RuntimeIdentifiers>ios-arm64</RuntimeIdentifiers>

to

<RuntimeIdentifier>ios-arm64</RuntimeIdentifier>

then it worked.

The official documentation gives the singular version https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/ios/deployment/overview

The reason why I had changed it, was because of this Errors with dotnet publish

but then later I also went through this error NETSDK1032: The RuntimeIdentifier platform 'ios-arm64' and the PlatformTarget 'x64' must be compatible, which was probably the original reason why the plural form worked. In the *.csproj.user file the value was set to this

<RuntimeIdentifier>iossimulator-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>

and since for some reason the project settings and the command line arguments are overruled by the *.csproj.user file, the only property that would do something was the one in the plural form.

Unfortunately I can not tell anymore after all these errors, if I actually had a version that would publish with the plural settings. (I believe I did)

In short:

• I followed the documentation
• it was "probably" the *.csproj.user that messed up my configurations
• which then messed up the inputs I was thinking I was entering
• which then lead me to the latest error, which is also not a proper error I would say, since it does not describe in any way the probable cause.

To summarize, deleting the .csproj.user and setting the .csproj to something like the following should work. And then execute

dotnet publish -f:net6.0-ios -c:Release

.
