[Bug] iOS and MacCatalyst Samples won't launch

See original GitHub issue

For iOS I ran:

./bin/dotnet/dotnet build src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.iOS/Maui.Controls.Sample.iOS-net6.csproj -t:Run

And got this error:

  Failed to launch the simulator: Could not find file "/Users/eilonlipton/GitHub/maui/src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.iOS/bin/Debug/net6.0-ios/iossimulator-x64/Maui.Controls.Sample.iOS.app/Maui.Controls.Sample.iOS"

[/Users/eilonlipton/GitHub/maui/src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.iOS/Maui.Controls.Sample.iOS-net6.csproj]

And for MacCatalyst I ran:

./bin/dotnet/dotnet build src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst/Maui.Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst-net6.csproj -t:Run

And got this error:

nction=_LSOpenStuffCallLocal}
/Users/eilonlipton/GitHub/maui/bin/dotnet/sdk/6.0.100-preview.5.21275.1/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets(852,5): error MSB3073: The command "open bin/Debug/net6.0-maccatalyst/maccatalyst-x64//Maui.Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst.app" exited with code 1. [/Users/eilonlipton/GitHub/maui/src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst/Maui.Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst-net6.csproj]

And I tried another command line to launch MacCatalyst:

dotnet build src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst/Maui.Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst-net6.csproj -t:Run -p:Configuration=Debug -p:TargetFramework=net6.0-maccatalyst --no-restore

And got the same error:

  The application cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10827 "kLSNoExecutableErr: The executable is missing" UserInfo={_LSLine=3665, _LSFunction=_LSOpenStuffCallLocal}

[/Users/eilonlipton/GitHub/maui/src/Controls/samples/Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst/Maui.Controls.Sample.MacCatalyst-net6.csproj]

Is there a different command line I should use for iOS and MacCatalyst?
