I have gotten around a lot of issues related to long paths using Xamarin.Firebase in .NET MAUI but the latest on the AppData directory seems uncrackable.
When trying to deploy to the Local IOS Device I get the following error (I am using the Windows VS).
The logs say it can't find the file, but the file is there:
Directory of C:\Users\borea\AppData\Local\Temp\Xamarin\HotRestart\Signing\HabitSphereShell.app\out\Payload\HabitSphereShell.app\HabitSphereShell.content\Firebase.Core.resources\FBLPromises.xcframework\ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator\FBLPromises.framework\Headers

What's the iOS version of your device? And what's the MAUI version(.NET6/7/8)? What's the VS version? Which Xamarin.Firebase Nuget package are you using? Is it Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging?
Also, you could try to pair to mac, connect the device with your Mac and select remote device, then check if you still cannot deploy the app to your device.

Yes the issue is that the deploy to the device locally fails with the logs as I included indicating an error in the createipa method.
-I am using MAUI version .NET 7.
-VS version is Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.7.4
- Xamarin.Firebase:
<ItemGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net7.0-ios'"> <BundleResource Include="GoogleService-Info.plist" /> <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.Core" Version="8.10.0.3" /> <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.Analytics" Version="8.10.0.3" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net7.0-android33.0'"> <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Firebase.Analytics"> <Version>121.3.0.4</Version> </PackageReference> <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Firebase.Core"> <Version>121.1.1.6</Version> </PackageReference> <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging"> <Version>123.3.1.1</Version> </PackageReference> </ItemGroup>
On regards to using a MAC, I don't have that setup currently. Although I am close to deploying the app so that is in my next steps.

2023-12-29T10:19:46.23+00:00 Thanks for your information.
Is your device running on iOS17 and above? What's the detailed iOS version of your device? And could you change another device with different iOS version to check if the issue still exists? Also, pairing to mac and running on a simulator or remote device is an option to further investigate. -

2023-12-29T13:36:19.5666667+00:00 Oh yes the version in the iPhone is 17.1.1.
I can't test on MAC for a while yet.
It will be important to be able to test this without the MAC.
From the log I think a possibility is the location of the TEMP file is too long for the tool that is created the signing file.
Those umbrellas files were failing in other parts of the build and I was able to get through them by setting the longpath settings for windows 11 and the app manifesto and using nuget cli directly to restore the packages.
But I suspect something else in the code is not using the longer path setting?
Your ideas on how to solve the issue would be greatly appreciated.

2024-01-02T08:49:37.3633333+00:00 I tried to deploy the app to my device, but I got different errors with you. (Could not find a part of the path GoogleUtilitiesComponents.xcframework/XXXXX)
For the xcframework issue, it's caused by HotRestart, it doesn't support static libraries and frameworks, XCFrameworks, or binding resource packages. For more information, see Limitations.
I also tried pairing to mac and running on my device, but the error still exists. In addition, it works well when I try VS for Mac and uninstall/ install the NuGet package again.
For this, it's recommended that you try to create a new issue at its Repo: https://github.com/xamarin/GoogleApisForiOSComponents/issues
I double checked the error message you posted, the path is
\FBLPromises.framework\Headers\XXX. It's not from Firebase NuGet, do you use any other packages?Since I still cannot reproduce the issue, please provide more details about your .
csprojfile, and check if the issue occurs on other iOS devices. -

2024-01-05T15:23:28.59+00:00 I tried to deploy the app to my device, but I got different errors with you. (Could not find a part of the path >GoogleUtilitiesComponents.xcframework/XXXXX)
LAC: these you are having might be the same problems I was having when dealing with the lack of support of long directory names. I would need to see the whole error to be able to tell.
For the xcframework issue, it's caused by HotRestart, it doesn't support static libraries and frameworks, >>XCFrameworks, or binding resource packages. For more information, see Limitations.
LAC: I don't know how anything I am doing would fit into any of the categories you mentioned. There are not static libraries or frameworks or resource packages as far as I can tell. Could you explain which one and how this applies?
I also tried pairing to mac and running on my device, but the error still exists. In addition, it works well when >>I try VS for Mac and uninstall/ install the NuGet package again.
LAC: What do you mean it works well when using the MAC directly? Did you try to run the application and have it connect to Firebase?
For this, it's recommended that you try to create a new issue at its Repo: >https://github.com/xamarin/GoogleApisForiOSComponents/issues
LAC: Ok. I would still need to understand if you could explain my questions here as that would help when creating a new issue don't have to start from scratch.
I double checked the error message you posted, the path is
\FBLPromises.framework\Headers\XXX. It's not from Firebase NuGet, do you use any other packages?LAC: The error message indicates is part of the Firebase package Firebase.Core.resources -> pp\HabitSphereShell.content\Firebase.Core.resources\FBLPromises.xcframework\ios-arm64_x86_64-
Since I still cannot reproduce the issue, please provide more details about your .
csprojfile, and check if >>the issue occurs on other iOS devices.LAC: Maybe the additional information I provided and my answers help a little. As of now I am not building with these packages as my application fails to install so the .csproj doesn't have them.

2024-01-08T09:25:33.4066667+00:00 Your error is in
FBLPromises.xcframework, my error is inGoogleUtilitiesComponents.xcframework. XCFrameworks is not supported via HotRestart. However, it would be supported via pairing to mac. I tested through pairing to mac and try deploying to Remote device, it still doesn't work. So it's suggested that you created a new issue at their GitHub Repo: https://github.com/xamarin/GoogleApisForiOSComponents/issues for further help.For the additional question, it's not clear about the
FBLPromises.xcframework, it looks like inFirebase.Core.resources, so I want to ask for more details from you. (Resource packages aren't supported with HotRestart)What do you mean it works well when using the MAC directly? Did you try to run the application and have it connect to Firebase?
When I try adding the packages using VS for Mac, the package can be installed. I haven't called the Firebase API to test if it can be connected.
