how to fix xamarin.forms ios error error MT2002: Failed to resolve "System.Security.Policy.EvidenceBase" reference from "System.Security.AccessControl, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

I upgraded to the newest version of VS2022 17.8.0 and tried to compile my xamarin.forms ios application and get the following error

MT2002: Failed to resolve "System.Security.Policy.EvidenceBase" reference from "System.Security.AccessControl, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

This seems to work on the previous versions of VS

My machine is a Mac Air M2, with xcode 15 on it.

Do you have the same issue when you create an empty Xamarin project and run it on iOS platform? The issue only occurs on your current project, right? And please check if the issue still exists when you use Xcode 14.3.

i tried a new xamarin.forms project, it compiles but still has the warning of

warning : warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-lz'

In debug mode the link is set to Dont link, in my project if i set it to link it compiles, i will only not compile with Dont Link or Link SDK only. With these options it wont compile, something is strange

OK while now i can compile with the settings Link All the system will not run.

I get the following errors now

This warning "ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-lz'" is a Xcode 15 issue (this is an incompatibility of current gcc with the Xcode 15 and/or CLT 15). For the other error about "System.InvalidOperationException: A suitable constructor for type Microsoft.Extension", I'm not sure if it is related to Xcode command line tool.

For this, please try to roll back to the previous Visual Studio version to check if the issue still exists, earlier versions of Visual Studio link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/

(Note that bug fixes and feature updates will target only the latest version)

Or try to downgrade to Xcode14.3

If you still meet the same error, please try to report a problem with Visual Studio
