However when I try to publish the app, it fails.

For further investigation, could you please provide detailed information about the message of failed log?

Thanks for your feedback.

The given path's format is not supported.

There are usually several reasons for this issue:

Long paths: On Windows, Visual Studio cannot support a path of more than 255 characters, otherwise you will get an error that the path is not supported. You can refer to the Publish an iOS app using the command line to publish ios application via command line.

This issue occurs because the IPA file cannot be exported. In this case, there are already community members in How do determine which path format is invalid? who have provided a temporary workaround.

Would those workarounds be helpful for you? Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

May I know whether your issue has been solved or not? If you're still having problems, please explain in detail what is still going wrong and what you need help with.

I followed provided docs.

Tried to publish using command line:

dotnet publish {project name}.csproj -f net8.0-ios -c Release -p:ArchiveOnBuild=true -p:RuntimeIdentifier=ios-arm64 -p:CodesignKey="{key}" -p:CodesignProvision="{provision}"  -p:ServerAddress={ip} -p:ServerUser="{user}" -p:ServerPassword={password} -p:TcpPort=58181 -p:_DotNetRootRemoteDirectory=/Users/webkassa/Library/Caches/Xamarin/XMA/SDKs/dotnet/

However it still fails with this error: User's image

Despite this error .ipa file is created on mac, but app works not properly. InfoPlist is still not localized.

Try adding this to your csproj:

<PropertyGroup> <IPhoneResourcePrefix>Platforms\iOS\Resources</IPhoneResourcePrefix> </PropertyGroup>

and see if that helps.

And the InfoPlist is still not localized, right?

I noticed that you publish the app by command line, could you publish the app via VS directly according to the doc- Publish a .NET MAUI iOS app for App Store distribution - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn, and upload it to TestFlight for testing?
