I have an issue where I am trying to use my iPod touch in to debug my .NET MAUI code. I plug my iPod into my Macbook and under Debug (where I set the devices) I get that my device OS version is lower than my deployment target. My iPod is version 15.7 and I'm using Xcode 14.2 for my .NET MAUI project:
The project is a new "HelloWorld" .NET 7 MAUI project.
I then open up my Project properties and under target platforms->iOS targets I change the Target iOS version from 16.1 to 15.4:
I can build and run for MacCatalyst but when I try to build and run for any of my iOS simulators (running iOS 16.2) my app crashed:
InnerException:
InnerException {System.MissingFieldException: Field not found: Microsoft.Maui.IPropertyMapper`2<Microsoft.Maui.IShapeView, Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.IShapeViewHandler> Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.ShapeViewHandler.Mapper Due to: Could not find field in class} System.MissingFieldException
with Message:
"The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Shapes.Shape' threw an exception." string
and the debug section still says my device OS version is lower than deployment target.
If I create a new HelloWorld project using .NET 6 instead of 7 I can change the deployment target for iOS to 15.4 and my project builds and runs on my iOS simulator (running iOS version 16.2) without crashing but I can't use my iPod for debugging (greyed out) as the iPod shows up as unsupported device as shown in image above .
Why can't I use my iPod touch running iOS 15.73 even after reducing the target iOS version to 15.4? (Also a bonus help would be why is my iphone simulator crashing for .Net 7 MAUI project)
Can someone help me figure this out?
Thanks!!!
