iOS hot reload blows up with source generator

[Cybrosys]

Hello,

I've created a simple source generator for finding and doing service DI registration. It works great and I can deploy to Android, but when I try to deploy on iOS the hot reload blows up with this error:

   at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes()
   at Xamarin.iOS.HotRestart.Application.ForceLoadingAssemblies(Type formsDelegate, String contentFolder)
   at Xamarin.iOS.HotRestart.Application.Run(String[] args, Action`1 loadFrameworkAction, Action killApplicationAction)'
2023-11-29 10:30:28.104 Xamarin.PreBuilt.iOS[14916:12722053] Could not resolve assembly Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, Version=4.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35. Details: Could not load file or assembly '/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/F4524867-5DDC-4964-8BC4-FFF8AEE59532/Documents/StoreApp.content/Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.dll' or one of its dependencies.

I've tried looking at the CommunityToolkit MVVM project(s) on GitHub and tried lowering the version of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp, but I still get the error but with different version numbers.

I don't know why hot reload wants access to Microsoft.CodeAnalysis as the MAUI project does not have a reference to it. One thing I am thinking could be the culprit is that I reference the source generator project like this:
<ProjectReference Include="<path to .csproj>" OutputItemType="Analyzer" />

I am not specifying ReferenceOutputAssembly="false" as the project contains attributes that I am looking for. Perhaps moving the attributes to a separate project and have that reference the source generator project?

Update
I was able to get it "working" by adding this to my app's csproj file:
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp" Version="4.8.0" />

However, I feel that something is wrong in me having to add that reference...

Solved this by moving the attributes the source generator was looking for into a separate project so I could add the ReferenceOutputAssembly="false" on the project reference for the source generator.
