Hello,

Please clean the bin/obj folder and remove the build cache on both your Windows machine and Mac.

Detailed steps: You could try to clean the XMA and mtbs folder. And you should pair to mac again after you remove the XMA folder. Please see Clearing the Broker, IDB, Build, and Designer Agents on the Mac (This doc is about Xamarin, it applies for MAUI)

Best Regards,
