MAUI App launches fine in iOS Simulator, refuses to build for device

Question

When I start building a default MAUI project for a physical iOS device on Visual Studio for Mac Preview 17.3 (build 191) on Macbook Air M1 with macOS 12.2.1 I get this error message:

/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/6.0.300/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(5,5): Error NETSDK1047: Assets file '/Users/<username>/VisualStudioProjects/MauiApp2/MauiApp2/obj/project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for 'net6.0-ios/ios-arm64'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'net6.0-ios' in the TargetFrameworks for your project. You may also need to include 'ios-arm64' in your project's RuntimeIdentifiers. (NETSDK1047) (MauiApp2)

I can build and launch the app in the simulator without problems.

Hello @Alexei Vinidiktov ,

There is a new preview release version (Jun 14th, 2022), please try to download and install the new VS, and check if this issue still exists.

In addition, you could have a try to add RuntimeIdentifier in your .csproj file:

<PropertyGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-ios'))">  
        <RuntimeIdentifier>ios-arm64</RuntimeIdentifier>  
    </PropertyGroup>
