.NET Error: “The current NET SDK does not support targeting NET 7.0.”

by 
The current NET SDK does not support targeting NET 7.0. Either target . NET 6.0 or lower, or use a version of the NET SDK that supports .NET 7.0.

This error message is indicating that the version of the .NET SDK that you are currently using does not support targeting .NET 7.0. In order to resolve this error, you have three options:

  • Update your Visual Studio instance to the latest available.
  • Target .NET 6.0 or lower in your application by modifying the target framework in your project file (e.g. .csproj) to a version lower than 7.0, and then rebuild your application.
  • Use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 7.0. You can check the version of the SDK you are currently using by running dotnet --version in a command prompt or terminal, and then update it to the latest version that supports .NET 7.0.
    • You can check the SDK version by running dotnet –list-sdks and you can update your SDK version by running dotnet update sdk
    • Once you have updated your SDK version, you should be able to build your application targeting .NET 7.0 without encountering this error.

Xamarin.iOS : “Failed to compile the generated registrar code” on Visual Studio for Mac

by

If you have recently upgraded your XCode version to 14.0, and installed the XCode command line tools too, you will probably notice some error messages when trying to run your Xamarin.Forms, or iOS application from Visual Studio for Mac.

Error MT4109: Failed to compile the generated registrar code.

What actually helped me, is this:
Navigate to https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ and search for Command Line Tools for Xcode 13.4 and Xcode 13.4. Both downloads are big, the XCode itself around 10GB and the CL Tools are around 1GB, so definitely do not do this on metered connections.

Once the downloads are ready, open the XCode.XP file with the Package Archiver, let it extract to downloads, then move it to Applications folder.

After that, install CL tools. Follow the installer’s instructions.

Boom, it’s solved. Issue reported at: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/15954

Xamarin.UWP: Image from embedded resource throws “Operation is not supported on this platform” error

by

If you are getting the error “Operation is not supported on this platform” when you are trying to set an ImageResource from file for an image on Xamarin.UWP, then the problem comes from this line of code:

IconSource = ImageSource.FromResource("afolder.animage.jpg");

The solution: Image as Embadded Ressource shows “operation is not supported on this platform” in UWP and Release (microsoft.com)
In a short brief: You need to use the second parameter for FromResource method call. You must pass an assembly in order to success on UWP platform. iOS and Android is not affected with this error.

IconSource = ImageSource.FromResource("afolder.animage.jpg", typeof(AClassFromTheAssembly).Assembly);

Solution

Remove your application source code from shared folder
or
You are being signed in with my Microsoft account in windows instead of the local user account
or
Visual Studio is not able to delete the application data in your local packages folder, go to C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\ folder, and delete your applications folder manually.
or
