I am developing a .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid application in Visual Studio 2022 and encountering an error when attempting to run it on the iOS simulator.

The error message states: The application's Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion. I have tried adding the CFBundleVersion to my Info.plist as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

    <string>1.0</string>
    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>1</string>
</dict>
</plist>

The error occurs and the application fails to launch. Here are the error logs:

An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22):
Simulator device returned an error for the requested operation.
The application's Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion.
Ensure your bundle contains a valid CFBundleVersion.
Underlying error (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22):
    Failed to install the requested application
    The application's Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion.
error HE0046: Failed to install the app 'com.companyname.shakesafe' on the device 'iOS 17.2 (21C62) - iPad Air (5th generation)': simctl returned exit code 22

I have tried:

• Resetting the simulator.

• Testing on different devices.

• Adding a CFBundleVersion.

App builds when I create a new project with the template.
