Whenever i try to build my project with iOS target enabled i get the following errors:

I actually had many more, but i changed my project directory to a smaller one (from C:\Repos\MAUIProjects\ProjectName\Version to just C:\Repos\ProjectName) and moving the .nuget forlder location as indicated in the paths above, since it seemed to be a MAX_PATH error.

The issue is i can't shorten the .ng path any more, and some of the paths in the errors above are even > 270 without even the C:\ directory.

These paths, being this long, and windows 11 not supporting long paths (with no fix on the way apparently) are not allowing me to build my project for iOS targets on .Net 7 MAUI project.
