Issue when restoring the nuget package

[roubachof]

Recently, it seems that a new error is appearing when restoring the ImageCaching.Nuke package.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\Jean-Marie\.nuget\packages\imagecaching.nuke\3.0.0\lib\net6.0-maccatalyst16.1\ImageCaching.Nuke.resources\NukeProxy.xcframework\ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator\NukeProxy.framework\Modules\NukeProxy.swiftmodule\arm64-apple-ios-simulator.private.swiftinterface'.

see: roubachof/Maui.Nuke#5 (comment)

But also if you try to open the https://github.com/roubachof/Maui.Nuke/ solution, you will end up with the same issue:

It seems that the simulator target is missing some files.
For example here is the arm64 target swiftmodule folder:

And here is the simultor target folder:

For some reason it was working in .net6 but it's failing on .net7

[Cheesebaron]

Seems to work fine on macOS:

I only bumped TFM to net7.0-ios;net7.0-maccatalyst. Cannot get it to work when it is the old net6.0-* TFMs.

Perhaps it is a Windows issue?

[Cheesebaron]

@roubachof is this something we need to look further into?

[roubachof]

I'm not really sure if it's really a windows issue or a packaging of the simulator arch, since it indeed misses some files if you compared it to other arch.

[Cheesebaron]

@roubachof do you still have this issue?

I think it might be due to the long paths. Since I noticed when building the NuGet package CI throws warnings like this:

Warning: /Users/runner/.dotnet/sdk/9.0.203/Sdks/NuGet.Build.Tasks.Pack/buildCrossTargeting/NuGet.Build.Tasks.Pack.targets(221,5): warning NU5123: The file 'lib/net8.0-ios18.0/ImageCaching.Nuke.resources/Nuke.xcframework/ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator/Nuke.framework/Modules/Nuke.swiftmodule/arm64-apple-ios-simulator.private.swiftinterface' path, name, or both are too long. Your package might not work without long file path support. Please shorten the file path or file name. [/Users/runner/work/NukeProxy/NukeProxy/src/ImageCaching.Nuke/ImageCaching.Nuke.csproj]

@roubachof , I am getting this issue when trying to install the Sharpnado.Maui.Nuke 12.8.3 NuGet package today and do not know how to solve it!?

[Cheesebaron]

@SirJohnK can you help providing a bit more detail on:

• What kind of project are you installing the package in? I am mainly interested in which TargetFrameworks this project has
• Which OS are you using?

Any other details you can provde would be helpful in figuring out what is going on.

Also please provide output of the following commands:

dotnet --version

and

dotnet workload list

Hi @Cheesebaron,

• I tried different MAUI projects, but the main is a MAUI App project targeting net9.0-android;net9.0-ios.
• Running Visual Studio 2026 on Windows.

Error:

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\aae367.nuget\packages\imagecaching.nuke\4.1.1\lib\net8.0-ios18.0\ImageCaching.Nuke.resources\NukeExtensions.xcframework\ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator\NukeExtensions.framework\Modules\NukeExtensions.swiftmodule\arm64-apple-ios-simulator.private.swiftinterface'.

Frustration because I really would like to replace FFImageLoading that we currently are using.

/Regards Johan

I would try the following.

If you are using Central Package Management with transitively pinned packages simply adding the following like to your Directory.Packages.props:

<PackageVersion Include="ImageCaching.Nuke" Version="5.0.0" />

If you don't have pinning enabled. Also add the corresponding line to the project where you are consuming the pacakge.

<PackageReference Include="ImageCaching.Nuke />

If you are not using CPM then adding to your project:

<PackageReferemce Include="ImageCaching.Nuke" Version="5.0.0" />

For the 2 last points you will need to conditionally add it only for iOS as the package is not compatible with other targets. Something like:

<ItemGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('ios'))">
  <PackageReferemce Include="ImageCaching.Nuke" Version="5.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Hi again,

It seems like the issue is with the 4.1.1 version and since Sharpnado.Maui.Nuke attempts to install that version.
Explicit using the 5.0.0 seems to solve the issue.

@roubachof , maybe a good idea to update Sharpnado.Maui.Nuke to require the 5.0.0 version of ImageCaching.Nuke.

Thanks! 👍

[roubachof]

Thanks Johann!

Could you open an issue in Maui nuke repo so I can track it please?
