    Hello,

    Vusual Studio 2022 on Windows.

    For Visual Studio, this long path error is expected because VS cannot support long paths. You could refer to Long Path Support in Visual Studio #2323 for more detailed information.

    For this problem, you can refer to Maui - iOS push notification cannot be set up - Could not find a part of the path (Path too long) #630 and operate it manually through the dotnet command line tool.

    Try clearing your local nuget cache and run a nuget restore from the command line (not using Visual Studio).

    Best Regards,

    Alec Liu.

    Easy Solution: create environment variable

    User variables for...
    NUGET_PACKAGES: C:\nuget_packages

    Close Visual Studio and Open again.

    It will create folder: C:\nuget_packages, with all packages, shorting path.
