Build error MT0057 for .net Maui iOS, Mac Catalyst builds with no problem

[chrismg32]

I can build and run for Mac Catalyst fine with this command

dotnet build -t:Run -f net6.0-maccatalyst MyApp.csproj

but when I try to build for iOS using this command

dotnet build -t:Run -f net6.0-ios -p:_DeviceName=:v2:udid=********-************** MyApp.csproj

I get this error

EXEC : error MT0057: Cannot determine the path to Xcode.app from the sdk root '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools'. Please specify the full path to the Xcode.app bundle. [/Users/chris/Documents/Development/MyApp/src/MyApp/MyApp.csproj]

[/Users/chris/Documents/Development/MyApp/src/MyApp/MyApp.csproj]

It is odd that it can find XCode for Catalyst but cannot find it for iOS. Any help would be appreciated.

@LanHuangThanks. I got an answer.

Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Command Line Tools did not have a value selected. Odd that is works for catalyst but not iOS but making sure the above tool has a value selected solved my problem.
