Maui Blazor iOS

[WoodyJ007]

This is more of a vent of my frustrations with Maui and iOS. Windows and Android seems to work ok, the big issues with this platform comes around release builds.

To use SQLite and some other features you have to turn off AOT and trimming for Android in release mode. Fine, it works and works on the store.

iOS for me is totally broken since net 8. Debug works, after days of messing around with various project file changes I can get release mode working. So Run on device in release or simulator will work fine. However after publishing a release mode to the store the app doesn't work in Testflight, can't run AppCentre anymore to find out the crashes as that has to be removed otherwise it doesn't build. At the moment trying to track down an issue that can't be reproduced in debug or release and only from the store takes from build to store about 30-45 mins per change....it's crazy in 2024.

So I guess wait for .net 9 and hopefully something is fixed.
