iOS Build Succeeds but NewBindingMaciOS Namespace Not Found in MainPage.xaml.cs

[Sgudipu]

Description

When building the project, the build succeeds and the framework is generated. However, when trying to use the iOS binding in [MainPage.xaml.cs] I get the following error is The type or namespace name 'NewBindingMaciOS' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Build the solution, including the NewBinding.MaciOS.Binding project.
2. Build the Maui project.
   2.In the Maui project (e.g., MainPage.xaml.cs), add the following code:

#if IOS || MACCATALYST
using NewBinding = NewBindingMaciOS.DotnetNewBinding;
#endif

<!-- Reference to MaciOS Binding project -->
	<ItemGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('ios')) Or $(TargetFramework.Contains('maccatalyst'))">
        <ProjectReference Include="..\macios\NewBinding.MaciOS.Binding\NewBinding.MaciOS.Binding.csproj" />
    </ItemGroup>

Please advise how to ensure the iOS binding is correctly referenced and available in the Maui project.

@Sgudipu are you using Rider? If so this seems to be a bug in Rider. I experienced the same, the app still builds fine though.

@bnoffer No I am using VS code

Okay, than there is a bug somewhere else in the tooling.
