Hi,
One of my multi target libraries is now failing with this

Any idea where I should start looking ?

MultiTargetLibrary.zip (194.0 KB)

This project highlights the issue. I have a multi target library with one target and it references my remote project.

  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="#" />
    <Reference Include="Elements">
      <Private>True</Private>
    </Reference>
    <RemoteProjectReference Include="github.com/Mosh/Moshine.Foundation/Moshine.Foundation.elements:*">
      <Private>True</Private>
    </RemoteProjectReference>
  </ItemGroup>

If I delete the elements reference then it builds without the error. Also while the remote project reference is present it says it cant resolve the reference to elements.

Cheers,
John

Could this one be looked into ?

It will be, yes.

Fixed, was a bad side effect from the fix for bugs://E26003: No path for Reference when switching between device and simulator
