When creating a brand new .NET Maui project in Visual Studio 2022 for Mac everything seems to work ok. Building the 'click me' app works and runs on the Android and iPhone emulators. What is strange however is that the default project explorer view shows '1 update' necessary for the Nuget Packages for all three frameworks ( net7.0-android, net7.0-ios and .net7.0-maccatalyst ) However Nuget will NOT allow the update for the following reason ... "Detected package downgrade: Microsoft.Extensions.Logging from 8.0.0 to 7.0.0. Reference the package directly from the project to select a different version. MauiTestApp -> Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug 8.0.0 -> Microsoft.Extensions.Logging (>= 8.0.0) MauiTestApp -> Microsoft.Extensions.Logging (>= 7.0.0)" Shouldn't a sample Visual Studio project work without these problems? Why is this Microsoft.Extensions.Logging not allowing an upgrade and should I just ignore these updates as not necessary?

Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug 8.0.0 requires the .net framework of 8.0 to run.
If you use a 7.0 framework to update this package, this error will occur.
Solution:
Please open your project file, find this project, and manually change it to 7.0.0.
<ItemGroup> <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug" Version="8.0.0" /> </ItemGroup>Why is this Microsoft.Extensions.Logging not allowing an upgrade and should I just ignore these updates as not necessary?
As previously explained, this is a compatibility issue.
Whether a package should be updated or not should not be based on whether there is an updatable package. Consideration should be given to environment compatibility, whether the updated version is stable enough, and so on.
All in all, update when you can cope with it.
