Android emulator works but not iOS. Version 1.6.4

[da-ms-22]

The project targets .NET 8 and runs in Visual Studio on a Windows machine. The Android emulator works perfectly. To test on an iOS emulator, I paired Visual Studio with a Mac. Other MAUI projects work fine with this setup..

Error message"The framework C:/Users/ABC/.nuget/packages/xamarin.firebase.ios.core/8.10.0.3/lib/net6.0-ios15.4/F irebase.Core.resources/GoogleUtilitiesComponents.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator/GoogleUtilitiesComponents.framework is a framework of static libraries, and will not be copied to the app."

I tried the following, but it didn’t work. In fact, it resulted in another exception.

<PropertyGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-ios'))">
    <RuntimeIdentifier>iossimulator-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
</PropertyGroup>

<PropertyGroup>
    <ForceSimulatorX64ArchitectureInIDE>true</ForceSimulatorX64ArchitectureInIDE>
</PropertyGroup>

Thank you!
