How to access MAUI asset file on iOS?

I am embedding files in my MAUI app, and succesfully access it at run-time on Android and Windows, but not on iOs (physical phone). Is there something I am missing or is there a bug I am not aware of ?

I embedd the file to the project lik like so:

  <ItemGroup>
    <MauiAsset Include="Resources\TextFile1.txt" />
  </ItemGroup>

I access it like so:

using (fileStream = await FileSystem.OpenAppPackageFileAsync("Resources/TextFile1.txt"))

Please note that:

var result = Directory.EnumerateFiles(FileSystem.AppDataDirectory);
var result = Directory.EnumerateDirectories(FileSystem.AppDataDirectory);

Return nothing on iOs, and that the splash screen and the icon of my app are replaced with the default one even though they work fine on other platforms.

Solution

If you are struggling with a similar issue, like me you probably did not catch this info:

You need a Mac device if you want to release a MAUI app on IOS.

You can still work/debug most of your iOS app plugging an iPhone to Windows which is cool but you got to get that Mac eventually.
