The Xamarin forms project didn't load with this message.
- Visual studio - 17.6.14 (build 413)
This happened to me after the workload was restored, possibly due to the .NET 8 update.
- Check the dotnet version (dotnet --version)
- If the .Net version is 8.0.401 or higher, remove it (use the dot net uninstall tool) - sudo ./dotnet-core-uninstall remove 8.0.401 --SDK (with elevated permission)
- dotnet version fallback to 8.9.204 - project loads and running
Maybe the MAUI project stopped working - will update
