Issue while creating ipa in release mode

I have an MAUI based application build and ready for the distribution. The application is working perfectly in the debug environment on the simulator. So the app logic is working correctly as expected without any errors.

But when a release build is created the application crashes on the simulator and physical device.

I'm developing the application using .Net 10 framework with target device iOS 26. The Supported OS Platform is set to 15.0 in csproj file. Also have the entitlements. plist file set in the csproj. The IDe used is Visual Studio Code for Mac (MAC OS). The application uses MSAL for the login / authentication purpose (Microsoft.Identity.Client) and SQLite Database (Sqlite-net-pcl)

Message:

Kindly guide me to build the application correctly in release version and get the ipa file ready for the in house distribution that could be deployed correctly on the physical device with iOS 18 / 26.

Thanks so much for the post. I believe that your question should be addressed by the support channel for Visual Studio - MAUI - the third-party resource you are using.

Unless developers here are familiar with that 3rd party tool development environments, tutorials or other resources. However I'm positive MAUI has a support channel at Microsoft.

Wish you the best on your development.
