Hello,

I am encountering an issu when i am publishing, creating the archive of my maui application, i have the given error

16:02:09:546 Cannot create an IOS archive 'MT.TimeClean.Client.ForNative'. Process cannot be executed on XMA server. 16:02:09:546 The "Unzip" task failed unexpectedly. 16:02:09:546 System.NotSupportedException: The given path's format is not supported. 16:02:09:546 at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.EmulateFileIOPermissionChecks(String fullPath) 16:02:09:546 at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectoryHelper(String path, Boolean checkHost) 16:02:09:546 at Xamarin.MacDev.CompressionHelper.TryDecompressUsingSystemIOCompression(TaskLoggingHelper log, String zip, String resource, String decompressionDir) in /Users/builder/azdo/_work/1/s/xamarin-macios/msbuild/Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks/Decompress.cs:line 200 16:02:09:546 at Xamarin.MacDev.CompressionHelper.TryDecompress(TaskLoggingHelper log, String zip, String resource, String decompressionDir, List`1 createdFiles, String& decompressedResource) in /Users/builder/azdo/_work/1/s/xamarin-macios/msbuild/Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks/Decompress.cs:line 104 16:02:09:546 at Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks.Unzip.ExecuteLocally() in /Users/builder/azdo/_work/1/s/xamarin-macios/msbuild/Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks/Tasks/Unzip.cs:line 61 16:02:09:546 at Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks.Unzip.Execute() in /Users/builder/azdo/_work/1/s/xamarin-macios/msbuild/Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks/Tasks/Unzip.cs:line 43 16:02:09:546 at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskExecutionHost.Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.ITaskExecutionHost.Execute() 16:02:09:546 at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskBuilder.<ExecuteInstantiatedTask>d__26.MoveNext()

I already read some articles and it seems that there is an issue with the path length so i changed some:

  • the "TEMP" from environments variables that looks like something like this "C:\TEMP"
  • the "TMP" from environments variables that looks like something like this "C:\TEMP"
  • And the one where the xamarin archive are stored, and it looks like this now "C:\Archives"

Does someone know what i can do to resolve it?

Thanks!

    Hello,

    As a temp solution, please use VS for Mac and then archive and publish the app. See Publish a .NET MAUI iOS app for ad-hoc distribution - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn

    （Note: please use Xcode15.2）

    For the long path issue, please follow the progress at GitHub- Maui - some nugets do not work as path is too long "Could not find a part of the path" · Issue #17828 · dotnet/maui · GitHub

    and [iOS] Cannot create archive due to the "Unzip" task failing with System.NotSupportedException because the app package content includes the link to local drive · Issue #22359 · dotnet/maui · GitHub

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Best Regards,

    Wenyan Zhang
