    Hello,

    This is a known issue in GitHub XLS0414: The type ' ' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been build. #7192. According to the workaround in this issue, you can resolve this issue by cleaning and rebuilding the solution.

    For some reason it needed a couple of Clean SOlution and rebuilds and now it works

    If this problem still occurs, you can try the following methods:

    • Update Nuget Packages in the project.
    • Check whether the MAUI component has been installed in VS.

    Best Regards,

    Alec Liu.
