I have been struggling with a problem starting my MAUI app for two days now. The structure of the app should be normal, so I’m surprised that I haven’t found anyone else with the same problem.
The app consists of a multiplatform MAUI frontend (.NET8.0 – IOS, Android, Mac), a core library (.NET8.0), a firebase library (.NET8.0) and the respective test projects (.NET8.0). Apparently the app cannot cope with the different target frameworks of the projects, because the error has only occurred since I split the app into different projects to test them better.
The dotnet build is successful, but when I start the app with the following command, I get the following errors:
dotnet build MyMauiApp.sln -t:Run -f net8.0-ios -p:_DeviceName=:v2:udid=16A1C6AA-DC20-4CB6-BB69-AEA5B7D0D47B

I have already changed the respective files a bit, for example to prevent the start of side projects in .net8.0-ios. But so far without success.
