App is stuck during build

[pinkysek]

first of all like others I want to thank you for your work with these libraries.

I tried upgrade old Xamarin.Firebase.iOS. (8.10.0.3) libraries for these new AdamE.Firebase.iOS. libraries with latest version 10.24.0 but I have problem with build my app which is stuck during build I left it alone for 2 hours and still nothing happened. My problem is I don't have any error message or something so I don't know what is wrong. It's same for simulator or real device. When I tried go back to old libraries build works again withount any problem. I would be very grateful for any help or where I can get more info from some build logs or someting like this.

Environment: Visual Studio Pro 2022 for Windows version 17.9.6 Xcode on Mac version 15.3 .NET iOS app (originally Xamarin.iOS) not MAUI with target framework net8.0-ios

This is how my iOS project .csproj looks:

I had an idea and I tried older version and AdamE.Firebase.iOS.* with version 10.23.0 works well on simulator and I can see my test crash in Firebase Crashlytics and Analytics works too. But I don't know why app is stuck during build with latest version.

#4 (comment)

ye it looks my problem is same like this https://github.com/AdamEssenmacher/GoogleApisForiOSComponents/issues/4#issuecomment-2133940176 but I really don't know what to do with it... I tried turn off Windows Defender and some other things...

btw I tried upload my iOS app with 10.23.0 on TestFlight but my app crashing during start up but in debug mode on real device or simulator there is no problem,

@pinkysek - Install 7-zip directly on your Windows device [or Parallels instance], then add the following to your project file:

<PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('windows'))">
    <XamarinBuildDownloadUser7ZipPath>C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe</XamarinBuildDownloadUser7ZipPath>
</PropertyGroup>

This resolved it for us [besides the various long-path support requirements and issues with Visual Studio].
