Maui .Net 8 XCode 15.1 and 15.2 NativeAOT Error in Testflight

Question

Hello,

I have an Maui app built with XCode 15.2 and .Net 8.

I am using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sql V8.0.4

When I install it on my iPad with test flight I get:

Model binding is not supported when publishing with NativeAOT. Use a compiled model.

I have also tried using xcode 15.1 with the same results.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

NativeAOT is part of the Maui build, and not Xcode. NativeAOT, places several limitations on your coding. Your code has broken one of these limitations. See:
