Its wasted a lot of my precious little time and blocked my ability to progress with this project. the build error says: Error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'AndroidX' could not be found why would AndroidX have anything to do with an app thats building for ipad air?? ifanyone can help me past this issue I'd be very grateful.. thx, Jerome.

What's the MAUI version? Could you provide the detailed error message? Do you use VS 2022(Windows) and pair to mac for iOS debugging? Do you add 'AndroidX' library for Android platform? If so, you could try using conditional compilation to target different platforms.
#if ANDROID
using Android....;
using XXX;// Android library
#elif IOS
using UIKit;
using XXXX;// iOS
#endif
May I know if you have got any chance to check my reply? Please feel free to share more detailed information to us and it will be very helpful for us to better work out this issue.
thanks for the response..

I'm developing for ios using visual studio for Mac on a mcbook pro. using the latest version of .net maui I was able to install (not sure how to check the version number tbh)
the inexplicable build error is:
/Users/myname/Documents/2022 onwards/manually copied/_Projects/project name/tabletUI/MAUI version/maui_respad/respad2023/services/APIAcess.cs(7,7): Error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'AndroidX' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246) (maui_respad)
though I'm confused as to why Android is even being mentioned given that I'm targeting ios!??
ah I found the problem!!
somehow the below using statement was in one of my files:
using AndroidX.ConstraintLayout.Core.Motion.Utils;
I must have created a new module to migrate codeinto and not noticed this inappropriate using statement!
thx very muchfor your response as answering you led to my noticing the issue.. much appreciated!
I converted my previous comment to an answer, please view it.
there was an inappropriate (presumably generated) using statement I didn't know was there..
using AndroidX.ConstraintLayout.Core.Motion.Utils; DOH!
Glad you solved the problem, thanks for your sharing.
Hello,
As you said, you found that you added using AndroidX.ConstraintLayout.Core.Motion.Utils;
Please try using conditional compilation to target different platforms.
#if ANDROID
using AndroidX.ConstraintLayout.Core.Motion.Utils
using XXX;// Android library
#elif IOS
using UIKit;
using XXXX;// iOS
#endif
