[question]: MAUI - Error updating nuget from 4.3.3 to 5.0.2

[MardorZ]

How can we help?

When trying to update the nuget package in our MAUI app from 4.3.3 to 5.0.2 or any 5.X.X i get the following error:

Path not found:
C:\Users\DaveXXXXX.nuget\packages\onesignalsdk.dotnet\5.0.2\res\ios\OneSignalFramework.xcframework\ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst\OneSignalFramework.framework\Versions\Current\Modules\OneSignalFramework.swiftmodule\x86_64-apple-ios-macabi.private.swiftinterface

The path is 260 characters long but i already enabled "LongPaths" in windows registry.

Is this really a path problem or did anyone have this problem?

What version of Xcode and .Net are you using?

Same problem with XCode 15.0.1 in distant Mac and .net Maui 8 with Visual Studio 2022 v 17.8.1 windows 11

Same problem.

Same problem here.

This is how i fixed it:

1. Run this powershell to support "Long Path" in Windows 10/11

New-ItemProperty `
    -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" `
    -Name "LongPathsEnabled" `
    -Value 1 `
    -PropertyType DWORD `
    -Force

2. Create a new directory for NuGet packages => C:\n
3. Add the new directory to a environment variable: NUGET_PACKAGES = C:\n
4. Go to your project directory and run dotnet add package OneSignalSDK.DotNet from Console using .NET CLI.
   Do not add the package from within VS

I did the same as snoova except I used RegEdit to add long path support. And I right-clicked My Computer, properties, advanced, environment variables to test Temp to be C:\Tmp. I found LongPathEnabled turned off and needed to be reset periodically.

@DaveBrask do you create a short directory for the nugets?
important is to restore nuget packages from command line. After that, you can run your project in VS

[DaveBrask]

I'm using 5.1.3. I didn't need to restore from the command line.

The 260 characters path limit is a Windows only issue, iOS framework packages are normally long so there isn't much this SDK can do to address it. The two ways to address the Windows limitation are:

1. Move your project to as short of a path as possible.
2. Set LongPathsEnabled in the Windows registry
