In Xamarin.iOS, you are able to set a file's build action to BundleResource but I am not finding this in MAUI.

I am trying to work with Firestore, and I have this fully functioning in Xamarin Forms but this small thing is blocking me on MAUI. Does anyone know how this can be set?

    Hello @ohumidk ,

    I'm not sure which IDE you are using (VS for Mac or VS2022 on Windows), some file templates are not ready yet. You could specify the BundleResource file in your .csproj, refer to 

     <ItemGroup>  
    <BundleResource Include="Resources\XXX.png" />// I add the image in Resources, please enter your file path  
  </ItemGroup>

    --------Update--------
    If you are trying to build a MAUI app, as in cross-platform, why do you need to select a resource as a BundleResource ? What kind of item are you trying to set?
    I see you reported this issue at https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/7938, please follow the progress.

    Best Regards,
