✅ .NET workloads not found when searching
Hello. I'm trying to install the iOS workload using the dotnet CLI. However, when I go to search for the iOS workload, I cannot find it. It happened the same with when I tried to install the android workload. That issue was fixed by just updating dotnet. However, this time it isn't fixed even after updating to the newer version. Any ideas that could be causing this?
OS: Arch Linux x64
.NET SDK version: 8.0.402
Workload version: 8.0.402.1
.NET install method: File based, straight from the website (not the package manager)
Thanks,
Dusks

I've typed "dotnet workload search" to list all the workloads that can be installed. It doesn't come up with either "iOS" or "maui-ios".

I'm unable to check on any other OSs as I only got Arch Linux on my laptop.

I've got Arch based too
and my output is empty:
so is it just that Arch dotnet doesn't have the workload?

I have the dotnet-runtime, dotnet-sdk, aspnet-runtime installed
should there be any other package?

I can't find it either
Yeah, finding details about specific workloads is near impossible. It's all drowned out by the actual dotnet tool search results
I still have less option than you

Isn't the ios workload only available on iOS?
Nope. My friend has windows and I asked him to run the search command and it shows for him
Found the answer: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/85505

Missing workloads on Linux · Issue #85505 · dotnet/runtime
Description On Linux, there seem to be particular workloads missing. Running dotnet workload search there (tested on Arch Linux) only returns: Workload ID Description ------------------------------...
I can't imagine the horror of migrating to Windows just for this :c
That seems to line up. I went digging into the dotnet files in /usr/share/dotnet and I managed to find stuff relating to iOS workloads.
