In my .NET MAUI project, I need to use a native interop DLL. Following an example on the Internet, I defined the following in my .csproj file:

  <ItemGroup Condition="'$(RuntimeIdentifier)' == 'win-x64'">
     <NativeReference Include="External\MyInterop.dll" />
  </ItemGroup>

However, when I build the solution from within VS 2022, the file MyInterop.dll is not getting copied to the location where the .exe is created.

What is it that I am missing?

  • Does it work if you remove the Condition? It's possible that this condition would only apply during a publish, but not during a normal build. Commented Oct 2 at 6:20
  • It doesn't work even without the condition. :-( Commented Oct 2 at 16:47
  • I have never used this <NativeReference> tag, so I don't know how it works exactly. Since you're apparently running on windows, you can try to just use a post-build-step instead. Commented Oct 2 at 17:23
