In the project properties, the Custom Entitlements is missing .NET MAUI

[heribertolugo]

Description

Using Visual Studio 2022, in the project properties tab there is supposed to be a section for iOS Custom Entitlements under Bundle Signing, between Scheme section and Custom Resource Rules section - as specified and shown in the Microsoft documentation.

The Custom Entitlements section is completely missing, as also reported previously by someone else. Below is a screenshot of my IDE which can be compared to the one provided in the previously linked Microsoft Documentation .

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create MAUI project
2. Right click on project in solution viewer
3. Select properties from the context menu
4. Navigate to iOS -> Bundle Signing
5. Attempt to locate Custom Entitlements section

Same UI issue, when I am setting this value via the project file:

<ItemGroup>
	<None Include="..\XXX.App\XXX.App.iOS\Entitlements.plist" Link="Platforms\iOS\Entitlements.plist" />
</ItemGroup>

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net8.0-ios|AnyCPU'">
	<CodesignEntitlements>Platforms\iOS\Entitlements.plist</CodesignEntitlements>
</PropertyGroup>

I got this error:

FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "/Users/XXX/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/XXX.App.MAUI/d62fe5f6920f7a9c4a81295ae1d70e2795e33255082ee9e318ebaee7350355af/Platforms/iOS/Entitlements.plist"
