Xamarin Forms iOS Build Release Build missing AppIcons

In my Xamarin Forms project (Visual Studio for Mac) I get the following error when I switch to Release-Build:

Error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: /Users/mklieber/Projekte/bosig-acoustic-app/App/App.iOS/obj/iPhone/Release/actool/bundle/[email protected] does not exist

Output:

This is the AppIcon:

AppIcon

The icon is present (third from top) and will be copied in debug build:

Release build

In release build the icon is missing:

Debug build

This is what I already tried:

Any ideas on this issue?

In my case,

  1. I have generated App Icons using jpeg image from https://appicon.co/.
  2. When I extracted that Icon zip file, there were Icons in PNG format.
  3. After attaching these Icons in Asset Catalog file and then building source was giving me this error.
  4. I converted jpeg format to png and also changed 300 dpi to 96 dpi using photoshop.
  5. I generated Icons again using png Icon from https://appicon.co/ and tried attaching and rebuilding solution. And it worked for me.

I solved the issue by recreating all app icons with the appropriate size and, very important, with a dpi of 96. The reason why the error occurs seems to cohere with the dpi of the image, some of my app icons had a dpi of 300.
