xbuild | Language runtimes installer for production environment | Continuous Deployment library

I have been trying to build a simple installer from a newly created template from Visual Studio for Mac.

I am on WSL2 in VS Code. Using Zsh on VS Code.

I am trying to install pythonnet though am getting two errors: ERROR: Failed building wheel for pythonnet error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized

This is from using pip install pythonnet==2.5.2

My versions are: Python 3.8.10 Wheel 0.37.0 Mono: 6.8.0.105 pycparser 2.20

I have searched high and low online though I can't find a solution - everything seems to point to updating wheel and installing mono - as you can see from the above version numbers, I have them installed. I am doing everything from within a virtual env.

Does anyone have any experience with this or know what to do to get past these errors?

A nonsensical error, because compiling another project works

System.Xml.Linq is referenced, it's the same code from this other project

csproj is similar, only with different compilation files(I'm comparing with the other project)

This other project is referenced, With .dll I'm actually making a mod for a game(The game is offline and without ads as it is paid, Probably no problem)

I'm using mono, Using msbuild and not xbuild

this is the code:

After updating our iOS build server from Mac OS Catalina to Big Sur our GitLab pipelines (running cakebuild) are failing with some cryptic Xamarin specific error message for one specific project (meaning other Xamarin iOS projects are building successfully and passing the pipeline).

However checking out the exact same project (same commit, same everything) on a different Big Sur machine the project in question compiles with no errors. Note that even commits that passed previously are now failing the pipeline.

Here's the interesting part of the logs

Again, after updating to VS 8.9.1 on Mac I'm getting this error while trying to compile my Android project:

I trying to display a images in android project using xamarin.

1. I put folder Images in my android project in directory Resources/drawable/Images

2. I set on every image property AndroidResource from BuildAction (I'm not sure if that should be the case)

3. In the c# code I try to call the image with this code but not worked for me:

   ...

I'm trying to setup a DevOps build pipeline (eventually for UI Testing) initially for Xamarin.iOS. We have other issues with AppCenter.

I've used the default Xamarin iOS template and am working through the issues.

We're using a mac vm / image.

We decided to use a Debug version of our app as this would provide more useful information from any UI Tests errors. So eventually we can test our build on Simulators in AppCenter.

However, I'm getting this error. I've ensured that I've included a entitlements.plist which has APS Environment set to development. I'm just unsure why it would need a provisioning profile.

I'm not actually sure what AppCenter would require from the build, perhaps it only works with ipa files ? And that therefore requires a profile ???

I work on Mac and I just updated Visual Studio for Mac 20109 to the latest version: Version 8.8 (build 2913)

After this, I'm no longer able to build/deploy Android apps I worked on.

I've created an empty new Xamarin.Forms project, but I get the same issue.

The output is:

I'm trying to debug a simple new Xamarin.Forms application on the IPhoneSimulator. I'm using Windows, and I'm paired to a macbook in my network.

The Xamarin.Forms template runs fine, but when I'm calling the Xamarin.Essentials.SecureStorage API
