Error in iOS Simulator with .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid: "Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion

I am developing a .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid application in Visual Studio 2022 and encountering an error when attempting to run it on the iOS simulator.

The error message states: The application's Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion. I have tried adding the CFBundleVersion to my Info.plist as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict><key>LSRequiresIPhoneOS</key><true/><key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><integer>1</integer><integer>2</integer></array><key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key><array><string>arm64</string></array><key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key><array><string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string><string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string><string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string></array><key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key><array><string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string><string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string><string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string><string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string></array><key>XSAppIconAssets</key><string>Assets.xcassets/appicon.appiconset</string><key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key><string>We need access to your location to provide earthquake alerts for you.</string><key>UIBackgroundModes</key><array><string>fetch</string></array><key>UIRequiresPersistentWiFi</key><true/><key>CFBundleVersion</key><string>1.0</string><key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key><string>1</string></dict></plist>

The error occurs and the application fails to launch. Here are the error logs:

An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22):Simulator device returned an error for the requested operation.The application's Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion.Ensure your bundle contains a valid CFBundleVersion.Underlying error (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22):    Failed to install the requested application    The application's Info.plist does not contain a valid CFBundleVersion.error HE0046: Failed to install the app 'com.companyname.shakesafe' on the device 'iOS 17.2 (21C62) - iPad Air (5th generation)': simctl returned exit code 22

I have tried:

• Resetting the simulator.

• Testing on different devices.

• Adding a CFBundleVersion.

App builds when I create a new project with the template.
