Cannot Launch Performance Profiler with Uno 5.4 Project and Visual Studio 2022

[brswan]

Current behavior

I am trying to perform a memory profile on a newly create Uno app. I created a new Uno 5.4 Desktop app. I am running in Windows.

Whenever I try to launch from the Performance Profiler I get the following error:
AppName failed to launch. Unable to obtain package full name from target

Expected behavior

Performance Profiler starts when app launches.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

Create a new Uno App using Template.
Target an Uno Desktop app.
In Visual Studio 2022 select Debug > Performance Profiler
Check the Memory Usage check box
Select Start

Thanks for the report. This indeed looks like a bug in visual studio, where the profiler does not know what to choose from.

As a workaround you can temporarily remove all the targetframeworks but the net8.0-desktop one, reload the project, then launch the profiler. We can track the issue in Visual Studio's Developer Community.

Looking further down, it seems that this behavior happens when any of the ios, android or macatalyst targets are present in TargetFrameworks.
