Xcode 15.3 is not currently supported for .NET iOS, #21057

My guess would be that you need to run xcode-select, as it's probably referencing the CLI tools and not the Xcode install

sudo xcode-select -s /path/to/xcode.app

Like I said, I have both tried with Xcode 15.3 and 15.2. I have selected the right one using xcode-select as well.

I have now uninstalled Visual Studio and Visual Studio (Preview). I also tried now to reinstall Visual Studio Code and all its extensions for MAUI. Still same issue.

I am having the same issue, Downgrading to MAUI version 0.7.10 fixed the issue, but it is happening for me on every newer version

I have now reported the issue to the Visual Studio for Mac team: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Xcode-not-found-MAUI-NET-extension-VSCo/10648989?viewtype=all
