Aspose.Email v22.6.0 in Xamarin Forms (iOS) - Can't resolve the reference 'System.Void System.Security.Cryptography.DSACng

Aspose.Email Product Family

Added Aspose.Email v2.66.0 via Nuget to Xamarin Forms v5 solution. Built and tested successfully for Windows, but fails to compile for iOS.

Error MT2101: Can’t resolve the reference ‘System.Void System.Security.Cryptography.DSACng::.ctor(System.Security.Cryptography.CngKey)’, referenced from the method ‘T Internal.Cryptography.Pal.Windows.PkcsPalWindows::GetPrivateKey(System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2,System.Boolean,System.Boolean)’ in ‘System.Security.Cryptography.Cng, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’. (MT2101) (MyApplication.iOS)

Are there some additional steps, beyond referencing the nuget, required for using Aspose.Email in Xamarin Forms iOS projects? Is this something you’ve seen before?

Thanks

Thank you for updating Tahir.

My company currently have a couple licences with Aspose for other products, my work here was just with the trial version in Nuget to see if it was a potential fit for our Xamarin apps. Would there be any way to expedite the issue if our account manager got in touch and referenced the issue in your tracking system?

Thanks
