.NET MAUI is not able to build (both Android and iOS)

[Kebechet]

Description

Android build is not possible because image contains some f*ked up .NET versions (something with .NET7 even though I use .NET8)
actions/runner#3578

iOS publishing to Apple Connect requires XCode 16.2 but not BETA. It needs either RC1 or official release 16.2 that was published just recently:
xamarin/xamarin-macios#19157 (comment)

Platforms affected

Image version and build link

Android build:
Image: windows-2022
Version: 20241201.2.0

iOS build
Image: macos-15-arm64
Version: 20241202.430

Is it regression?

yes

Expected behavior

.NET MAUI builds should just pass as before

Actual behavior

Both pipelines crash.

• Android one because of some wrong .NET versions
• iOS one because Xcode provided is not latest 16.2 version

Repro steps

• For android try to build a .NET maui app
• For iOS build works but we cant publish it to Apple store because it was built with BETA version of XCode even though there is an official release already

Hi @Kebechet, We began our weekly deployment of macOS 15 and macOS 15-arm64 images on Monday. The current Xcode version, 16.2 Release Candidate, is expected to be available within 1–2 days. We will provide an update here once the VM rollout is complete. Thank you for your patience.

@sureshe456 Perfect, thank you. And what about the Android part ?

Hey @Kebechet! 👋

We don't want to track two problems in one place at the same time. I suggest leaving this issue as a .NET issue.
In addition to what my colleague said. Regarding Xcode 16.2 and Xcode 16.2 RC and their availability, the problem is regular - updates will be released ASAP, as my colleague said. We are already preparing for the release version to deploy: #11179. It will be available next week right after RC on this week.

If you would like to track Xcode related issue, please open another one. 🙇
