Target iOS version is always empty in my project's properties and I get an error

Kim Strasser 1,036

I have installed Visual Studio for Mac 17.6.4 (build 472) and I always get this error when I build my iOS project:

/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.308/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(5,5): Error NETSDK1047: Assets file '/Users/myname/Projects/.../obj/project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for 'net7.0-ios16.4/iossimulator-x64'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'net7.0-ios16.4' in the TargetFrameworks for your project. You may also need to include 'iossimulator-x64' in your project's RuntimeIdentifiers. (NETSDK1047)

In my project's properties the target iOS version is always empty, even after changing it to 16.4 and clicking the OK button.

My project's csproj file looks like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net7.0-ios16.4</TargetFramework>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <UseMaui>true</UseMaui>
    <UseMauiEssentials>true</UseMauiEssentials>
    <SupportedOSPlatformVersion>15.0</SupportedOSPlatformVersion>

How can I solve this problem?

Hi @Kim Strasser ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Please try to run dotnet restore to restore the project.

Then, delete the obj folder in your project folder and rebuild the project.

If it doesn’t work, it may be a known issue in Visual Studio for MAC. You can see the similar issue.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely,

Anna

It's not working. I deleted the usr/local/share/dotnet folder on my iMac and reinstalled .NET 7.0 and I used dotnet workload restore in my project. But I still have the same problem when I want to debug on my iPad. I have this problem in NET MAUI App projects and in MonoGame iOS projects.

Details: DVTExtendedPlatformInfo: Synthesized watchos Extended Platform Info because no plugin existed to provide it or that plugin was not loaded Object: <DVTExtendedPlatformInfo> Method: +extendedPlatformInfoForPlatformIdentifier:error: Thread: <NSThread: 0x6000007a7040>{number = 9, name = (null)} warning MT1043: Failed to launch the application using the instruments service. Will try launching the app using gdb service.

You can still launch the application manually by tapping on it.

My csproj file:
