After updating my laptop from an Intel-based Mac to a Silicon-based Mac, I am unable to build my project . In my project i am targeting ios only .

The error message I received is as follows:

/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/8.0.302/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(5,5): Error NETSDK1047: Assets file '/Users/ragib.noor/Repository/PMI_Service_Gateway/src/PMI.Service.Mobile.Maui/PMI.Service.Mobile.Maui.iOS/obj/project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for 'net8.0-ios/iossimulator-x64'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'net8.0-ios' in the TargetFrameworks for your project. You may also need to include 'iossimulator-x64' in your project's RuntimeIdentifiers. (NETSDK1047) (PMI.Service.Mobile.Maui.iOS)
