Error being thrown when trying to debug from JetBrains Rider: error HE0004: Could not load the framework 'DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation'

I am unable to debug a Xamarin.iOS application out of JetBrains Rider 2022.2.2. This is the error that gets thrown when trying to deploy to the simulator:

error HE0004: Could not load the framework 'DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation' (path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation.framework/DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation):

Solution

  • I had the same problem. Let me guess... You just upgraded to XCode14 and the corresponding Command Line Tools?

    Downgrading XCode and Command Line Tools to 13.4.1 helped me.

    What worked for me

    Go To https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=command%20line%20tools

    Download XCode and Command Line Tools for Xcode 13.4. Unpack Xcode (13.4.1) and rename it (for example Xcode 13) and place it parallel to Xcode (14) in the programfolder.

    Xcode 14 and 13 parallel installed.

    Then install the Command Line Tool.

    Now in Xcode (still 14) > Preferences > Location > Command Line Tools, select version 13.4.1 instead of 14. You can see the Path for it is "Application/Xcode 13".

    enter image description here

    For safety restart tools, and it worked again...

    Update: With the last update of Visual Studio, the downgrade was no longer necessary for me. Since then I can build the apps with XCode 14 and the corresponding command line tools without any problems. So I suggest upgrading Visual Studio to the latest version first.
