Today I updated my Visual Studio 2022 (17.0 build 7303) for Mac and after I trying to start my xamarin project I receive error:

/Users/pizhev/Projects/HydroMeteoAnalyzer/HydroMeteoAnalyzer/HydroMeteoAnalyzer.Android/CSC: Error CS0006: Metadata file '/Users/pizhev/Projects/HydroMeteoAnalyzer/HydroMeteoAnalyzer/HydroMeteoAnalyzer/bin/Debug/netstandard2.0/ref/HydroMeteoAnalyzer.dll' could not be found (CS0006) (HydroMeteoAnalyzer.Android)

I check here: Metadata file '.dll' could not be found but on Visual Studio on Mac when I right click on the solution and click options -> Go to Configurations I not have any checkboxes..

What can I do on Configurations window on mac ?

Configurations

I try this method but without positive result for me:

  1. I delete all bin and obj folders in all projects.

  2. Open solution -> clean solution -> Build solution.

After update on Visual Studio for Mac to version 17.0 (build 7303) I try to create a new empty project on xamarin and when I try to start I receive the same error.

How can I fix this error ?

Please, help guys.. I need to fix this error.

In my case, I've got it fixed by enabling the Build with MSBuild on Mono checkbox in the Solution Properties > Build > General section. (I had disabled it previously to build a .NET6 project in that solution).

If after deleting the folders - bin, obj and hidden folder .vs the problem is not solved -> Uninstall Visual Studio 2022 and Install Visual Studio 2019. After installation, everything it work normally.
