Maui not building in Azure pipeline

[ranjithtech]

Description

We are building a MAUI app migrated from Xamarin. The application builds and runs smoothly on a local mac machine, but when I moved it to Azure pipeline to build, it is failing with below error.

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MauiTextField' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) [/Users/runner/work/1/s/TestMobile/DashMobile.csproj::TargetFramework=net8.0-ios] /Users/runner/work/1/s/TestMobile/Controls/Handlers/DoneEntryHandler.iOS.cs(37,35):

The maui handler code for the above error is as below.

using CoreGraphics;
using Microsoft.Maui.Handlers;
using Microsoft.Maui.Platform;
using UIKit;

namespace TestMobile.Controls.Handlers
{
    public class DoneEntryHandler : EntryHandler
    {
        protected override void ConnectHandler(MauiTextField platformView)
        {
            base.ConnectHandler(PlatformView);

            // handler code
        }
    }
}

Is the MAUI workload provisioned on the bots you're building on?

Can you build a template MAUI project in your Azure Pipelines?

I resolved it by using .NET SDK version 8.0.101.

The latest mac agent has these version of sdk: 7.0.102, 7.0.202, 7.0.306, 7.0.410, 8.0.101, 8.0.204, 8.0.302 So it tries to use the latest one 8.0.302 which has this problem. It also do not work on 8.0.204

Please fix it in latest sdks.
