Compiler freezes during build and never finishes

See original GitHub issue

Hi everyone,

when trying to build a Fabulous.XamarinForms.Templates the compiler freezes. This happens with Visual Studio 2022 and with msbuild via the commandline.

Repro steps

Requirements from Fabulous.XamarinForms.Templates

Provide the steps required to reproduce the problem:

dotnet new install Fabulous.XamarinForms.Templates
dotnet new fabulous-xf-vswin -n SplitApp
cd SplitApp
msbuild

Expected behavior

The compiler eventually finishes.

Actual behavior

The compiler never finishes. (Had it running for 6.30 hours…)

Known workarounds

Downgrade compiler from v12.0.5 to v12.0.4.

Related information

I already did some research at this Fabulous.XamarinForms ticket https://github.com/fabulous-dev/Fabulous.XamarinForms/issues/20 I even tried git bisect to further pinpoint the issue, but I can not really compile the project with my own compiler due to missing build targets:

"c:\Users\xxx\source\repos\SplitApp\SplitApp.sln" (default target) (1) ->
"c:\Users\xxx\source\repos\SplitApp\SplitApp.Android\SplitApp.Android.fsproj" (default target) (4) ->
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v17.0\FSharp\Microsoft.FSharp
.Targets(4,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Users\xxx\source\repos\fsharp\artifacts\bin\fscAny\Debug\net47
