Notably, the LINQ expression trees are broken for many scenarios on iOS for .NET 6 and 7. This was tracked by https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/69410 and fixed in .NET 8 with refactoring of several switches in the LINQ expression implementation but the changes were not back-ported to older .NET releases. The suggested workaround (using Mono interpreter) unfortunately hits a different unrelated issue (https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/89359) which was also fixed in .NET 8 only.
All the unit tests still pass locally for me with this change. I have also confirmed that it resolves the following crash on our iOS application:
System.ExecutionEngineException: Attempting to JIT compile method '(wrapper delegate-invoke) System.Collections.Generic.IList`1<Google.Apis.Gmail.v1.Data.Label> <Module>:invoke_callvirt_IList`1<Label>_ListLabelsResponse (Google.Apis.Gmail.v1.Data.ListLabelsResponse)' while running in aot-only mode.

The condition was changed in https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/pull/2678 and it looks like an accidental search and replace rather than intentional change. Other similar code path uses the reflection on .NET 6 builds.
