iOS MonoGame 3.8.1.303 Unable to Load Content

CoryKroll · October 10, 2022, 3:38am

Using MonoGame iOS Application (MonoGame Team) template. Opened Content.mgcb and added PNG file and built it. Added Content.Load call, but when running get:

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentLoadException: ‘The content file was not found.’

I can’t seem to get any content to load. Found someone making a comment on this on an already closed GitHub issue:

ContentPipeline

Contents are not packed correctly in iOS. Given a png assets file `joystick-background.png`, it should generate a file `joystick-background.xnb` on game build. But when you run the game in iPhone with a debugger, it just raises content load exception with message `The content file was not found.` Test project: https://github.com/ryancheung/Pong-Test #### What version of MonoGame does the bug occur on: - MonoGame 3.7 #### What operating system are you using: - macOS #### What MonoGame platform are you using: - iPhone

Anyone run into this? Any work-around?

I am running into this as well. Seen several ‘solutions’ on the web, but none of them seem to work…
