I’m creating a component using .NET 8 MAUI for my application. In this component, I have some images in SVG format marked as MAUI Image.

I created in the same solution a demo project to test my component. I added the component as a project reference

<ItemGroup>
  <ProjectReference Include="..srcPSC.Maui.Components.LanguageDropdown.csproj"/>
</ItemGroup>

In the demo project, I can use the images from the component. Then I created the NuGet package for it.

If I create a new project and add the NuGet package, all the images will not be displayed anymore. I thought the component shared the images also with the project.

How can I allow other projects to access and use the images?

Update

I saw on GitHub a possible solution but it is not working for me.

I created a new file called PSC.Maui.Components.LanguageDropdown.targets and I added those lines (and all the long list of images)

<Project>
    <ItemGroup>
        <MauiImage Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)ImagesFlagsf_ad.svg" />
    </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Then, I edit the project file (.csproj) and I added the file above

<ItemGroup>
    <None Include="PSC.Maui.Components.LanguageDropdown.targets" 
          Pack="True" PackagePath="buildTransitive" />
</ItemGroup>

and then change this line

<MauiImage Include="ResourcesImagesFlagsf_ad.svg" />

into to this one

<MauiImage Pack="True" PackagePath="buildTransitiveImagesFlags" 
           Include="ResourcesImagesFlagsf_ad.svg" />

When I added the NuGet in a project, I get this error

Unable to find background file: C:Usersenric.nugetpackagespsc.maui.components.languagedropdown8.0.15buildTransitiveImagesFlagsf_ad.svg LanguageDropdownDemo (net8.0-android), LanguageDropdownDemo (net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0) C:Usersenric.nugetpackagesmicrosoft.maui.resizetizer8.0.82buildTransitiveMicrosoft.Maui.Resizetizer.After.targets 624

Update/2

I checked the NuGet package itself and I can see this

The package contains only the dll. So, I don’t know if it has to have a folder with all the images or the images are embedded in the dll.
