I am facing an Invalid Binary issue with the release build in the App Store. I have an empty sample MAUI app with the following packages.
If I remove the Plugin.Firebase package from the project, the app uploads and passes the TestFlight. However, when I add the Plugin.Firebase. The app is rejected from the App Store with an Invalid Binary. It actually doesn't pass the TestFlight and is removed automatically.
This is an empty MAUI app. The app is working perfectly fine with Android, so in the sample, I target iOS only.
