Why do I get iOS build issues when simply trying to deploy to Android?
I feel like this problem only surfaced with MAUI. And I've seen it in Visual Studio as well, so it's not necesarilly a Rider issue. But I'm using Rider now, so I thought I'd post it here:

My project just got upgraded to .NET8 and now it wants an Xcode upgrade. Fair enough. But why can't I still build and deploy in Android and fix this feature later?
As far as I know, the only way to get around this is remove all references to supporting iOS, but that's a huge can of worms having to go through every project in my soution.
And yes, I will upgrade my Xcode. But I just didn't use to have to do this while I worked on Android before.

Unfortunately, at the moment in the build stage, all platforms are built. Thus, the issue you have faced is a bug with ID RIDER-91070 Running Android Run Configuration also Builds other TargetFrameworks. At the moment it is being worked on by our team.
