Is the conditional compilation option changed in VS 2022 17.5.2?

Question

I used conditional compilation in my last project and it worked very well.

Today I try to use it too, but the compiler doesn't recognise my condition that I added under Properties -> Build-> General

For example, if I want to use my MAUI input as a condition in the code, the compiler does not recognise it!

Has anything changed in the meantime here in this area?

Thanks

EDIT

There are three projects involved: P_1, P_2 and P3_. P_1 is a MAUI project and P_3 is a Blazor Server project. In P_2 I have common classes. To be able to differentiate platform specific code, I have added MAUI for conditional compilation in P_1. With this, I can then ask for MAUI in P_2 and execute platform-specific code from either MAUI or Blazor Server accordingly.

This worked quite well in the previous project, now I can't get it to work.

Hello,

I test it in VS 2022 17.5.1, it is working. If this issue just happened in the 17.5.2.

If you update from previous version to the 17.5.2 and your VS version is enterprise or professional, you can rollback to previous version.

Please see this document. How can I rollback?

Or download previous version directly,

If your VS version is Community, please Report a problem with the Visual Studio product or installer
