File not found: Error for Contents.json when running Xamarin App using a Mac on my network

I was able to solve it this way:

  1. Right click your ios project > unload project > and edit the csproj file.
  2. Scroll down and delete the following inside the csproj:

.csproj:

<ItemGroup>
    <ImageAsset Include="Assets.xcassets\AppIcons.appiconset\Contents.json">
        <Visible>false</Visible>
    </ImageAsset>
    <ImageAsset Include="Assets.xcassets\LaunchImages.launchimage\Contents.json">
        <Visible>false</Visible>
    </ImageAsset>
</ItemGroup>
  1. Reload csproj.
  2. Clean
  3. Rebuild
