Hi, I have a VS 2019 project for iOS with Xamarin. It was working fine in June, I have my SKD version set for 10.2 and supported architectures set to ARMv7 + ARM64.
Today I loaded up my project as I wanted to check something but when I go to build I now get the errors:
can not encode offset '#####' in resulting scattered relocation
I am reading that this is because I am targeting ARMv7 but why was it working perfectly fine a couple of months ago? What would have changed?
When I try to target just ARM64 I get this error when trying to deploy to my iPad mini 6h gen (which is 64bit):
IncorrectArchitecture: Failed to find matching arch for 64-bit Mach-O input file
It is frustrating when it goes from working one month then suddenly not working even though I have not changed anything.

As described in the Troubleshooting doc, this issue occurs when building for 32-bit architectures, such as ARMv7, when the final binary is too large for the native toolchain.
To resolve this:
- Drop building for that architecture in the iOS Build pane of project options.
- Enable linking or manually remove code to reduce final executable size
IncorrectArchitecture: Failed to find matching arch for 64-bit Mach-O input file
You have removed this
ARMv7architecture. Please check if you have the wrong configuration selected. -

2023-09-01T22:59:18.1033333+00:00 Yes, I was wonder why it went from being small enough for ARMv7 to suddenly being to large when I have not made any changes or updates.
The error:
IncorrectArchitecture: Failed to find matching arch for 64-bit Mach-O input file
Happens when I only have ARM64 selected, but from what I have been reading it may be due to XCode needing an update.

2023-09-03T14:58:35.1066667+00:00 So I have the latest version of XCode but I still get the error IncorrectArchitecture: Failed to find matching arch for 64-bit Mach-O input file when trying to compile for ARM64 only. Any ideas?

2023-09-04T08:28:23.6333333+00:00 Please go to the Properties window of the Xamarin.iOS project, then go to iOS build-> Configuration, and check if you set ARMv7 for iPhone or iPhone Simulator.
